In the Kharkiv region over the past day, August 15, there were 18 fires associated with the burning of dead wood, coniferous litter, reeds and debris. This was reported by the press service of the State Institution of Emergency Situations of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. The total burning area was more than 6.5 hectares. According to rescuers, the overwhelming number of such fires happens due to the frivolity of people who continue to put things in order on their land plots and adjacent territories by burning dead wood.. As a result, almost every day a lot of rescue efforts are spent on eliminating stubble fires in fields and in open areas..
