May holidays are expected with a twinkle

Transbaikalia is threatened by another forest -fire disaster

For the May holidays, the Baikalia authorities expect a sharp exacerbation of the forest firewall: the air temperature will rise to 20 degrees, the wind will intensify to 25 m/s. This will happen on April 28, on Friday, when the people will set to open the country season and fry kebabs.

In Southern Siberia, in general, for some time, spring holidays have been waiting with a shudder. At Easter 2015, on April 12, the fiery tornado destroyed in four dozen of the villages of Khakassia 1215 houses, 31 people died, 90 were injured. And in Transbaikalia, the forests lit up that year in March, went out only by September. Fire from the forest was thrown into villages, 174 residential buildings burned, 10 people died, 48 were injured.

The 2015th repeated in Transbaikalia, everything is already ready. The number of natural fires in the region (194) exceeded the same indicators of the last year four times, and their area was eight. And this is only according to official figures that have little in common with reality: the secrets of this bureaucratic technology “New” wrote more than once. The largest fires do not fall into the reporting. Only one example of April 12: the head of the Russian Forest Department of Russia Alexei Yaroshenko drew attention to the fact that in the Mogochinsky district on this day there were three large fires on the lands of the forest fund, including less than three kilometers east of Mogochi (13.5 thousand people). According to the ISDM-Roskhoz system, this largest of three fires raging from March 26, 4291 hectares passed, which is 23 times larger than the area of ​​all officially taken into account in the Trans-Baikal Territory on the morning of April 12.

The fact that more than 90% of the fire area does not fall into the official reports (for example, last year in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - more than 99%) is associated with conceptually different approaches of government agencies and the same Greenperap. He thinks everything, but the authorities do not include “non-operational” forests in the monitoring zone, which, in principle, cannot be extinguished, and no need to. They are not stewed. This is a natural natural process: fire as a renewal factor. However, the flip side of this approach is unjustified relaxation. And we can’t relax here. If the fire approaches the city by three miles, this is, of course, an emergency and disgrace.

Now the regional authorities and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are urging not to breed bonfires, to prevent agricultural grasses in grass. Entrance to the forest is limited. The first deputy prime minister of Transbaikalia Alexander Kulakov, explaining the failures at the beginning of the fire hazardous season, speaks of its early beginning, stable windy weather, cyclones that did not allow raising aircraft (30% of forest fires arose on the territory inaccessible to ground forces). At the same time, the official notes that the region has enough strength and funds to cope. In Transbaikalia, 130 paratroopers from the federal reserve were transferred, three Mi-8 helicopters were involved, two of which are equipped with spinning devices. Aviation of the Ministry of Emergencies is ready to fly to the region at the first request, but the weather is not for it yet: amphibians will not be able to pick up water from reservoirs-even ice.

The Zabaikali Legislative Assembly in the first reading adopted a bill on amendments to the budget, providing for the allocation of 70 million rubles of the subsidy of the GU (State Institution) "Transbaikalleskhoz" to combat forest fires. The reserve fund of the regional government is replenished for 30 million rubles.

Did you remember the numbers? 70 million and 30 million, 130 paratroopers, three helicopters. Now listen to the head of the Department for Supervision of the implementation of the federal legislation of the prosecutor's office of the Trans -Baikal Territory Alexander Trukhin. He intelligibly explains why the forests burned with a blue flame and will burn further. Trukhin performed on the Zabt TV channel, below - the decoding of his speech.

- From year to year, the same violations are revealed, only about two thousand, and they are characteristic of absolutely every year: what is it, the previous one. The main violators? All absolutely state authorities of all levels, all forest and -duty institutions that are involved in preparations for the fire hazardous period and whom the powers to extinguish forest fires are assigned.

In our region, the system of bodies and institutions that participate in the implementation of these powers is quite developed. And for more than five years he continues to reform. Today, in addition to the Ministry of Natural Resources (and used to be the state forest service of the region), one way or another, forest fires are owed to the GU “Trans -Baikal Forestry Association, the Chita Base of Aviation Protection of Forests, the GU“ The Office of the Forests of the Trans -Baikal Territory ”, and the GU“ Transbaikalpozhspas ”. But until now, for example, a consolidated plan for extinguishing forest fires has not been approved (the governor claims, coordinating with Rosleskhoz). And this is the main document indicating how many people and equipment are involved in a particular territory. The regular number of Transbaikalleskhoz, the Chita base of the air guard was not equipped. Not everyone is vaccinated, not everyone has passed training and medical examinations, not enough special equipment, inventory, clothing, food.

According to the standards of the standard number in the extinguishing of our forest fires, more than six hundred paratrooper paratroopers should participate. And the state approved less than two hundred. The same problems with Transbaikalleskhoz. More than two thousand workers should participate in extinguishing, and they are multiple less. The budget accounts of the Chita air base in March were blocked due to the fact that it had debts to Krasnoyarsk institutions for extinguishing last year's fires (100 million rubles), which means that the base cannot prepare for extinguishing fires this year. [...] Spring is promised windy and dry, the catastrophic year 2015 may be repeated, when the fire spread from the forest to eight settlements, and so far the damage has not been compensated to everyone.

For individual methods for the normal passage of a fire hazardous period, 1 billion rubles are required to the region. For the timely detection of fires in the aviation monitoring zone, we need 700 million. And 16.5 million were allocated. For the execution of a court decision, we need financial resources from the federal center.

The debt to people who extinguished fires last year passed for this year. The federal center has not yet transferred us 108 million and, besides these 108 million, we need another billion.

The debt to employees is recovered mainly in court. And another problem arose. During the audit, they established: almost all employees who participated in extinguishing forest fires receive a salary not in full, without taking into account the district coefficient.

Regarding the Ministry of Emergencies. The population was forced to ask for the help of the Ministry of Emergencies, and they said that the fire had not yet reached the village ... We were forced to introduce ideas to the Ministry of Emergencies on such facts.

As for 108 million rubles over the past year, Kulakov explains that the government of the region expects a repayment of this debt from the federal center in late May - June. As for the debts of the Chita air base to the Krasnoyarsk, nothing is clear at all. Is it a reading on its own initiative, or something, attracted dopsils based on source in Krasnoyarsk?

The inconsistency of the forces and means that the Siberian regions are needed, what they have today in fact, is especially impressive against the background of the news, for example, from the website of the Ministry of Emergencies. The delegation of the department paid a visit to Switzerland for the exchange of experience in the training of specialists in the field of fire safety and “discussing issues of implementing projects to improve the qualifications of students of the Academy of the State Emergencies Ministry of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies, including the highest Academy of Administration and students of the Switzerland Academy”. Next, the All-Russian command and staff exercises were held to eliminate emergencies caused by natural fires: within three days more than one and a half million people took part in the development of introductory ones. Throughout the country. With the participation of all emergency services.

That is, naturally in Buryatia, near Selenginsk and the Big River, according to Yaroshenko, drained peat bogs are burning, and it is precisely the Ministry of Emergencies that should be extinguished by court decision, but it “conducts exercises” - ten kilometers from the largest fire (near the large river). It was this fire in past years that created the most strong smoke in the areas of the Baikal federal highway and the Trans -Siberian Railway in the Kaban district.

The bureaucratic machine is busy self -service at the edge of the fire, not paying attention to the reality. Of course, the exercises were planned, and fires arise suddenly. Just two months ago, the hydrometeorological center predicted an abnormally fire hazardous spring in Lake Baikal and Transbaikalia - an elevated average monthly temperature and reduced precipitation.

But, for example, a fire on the world's largest wood waste in the world under the side of Ust-Kut (Irkutsk region) has been continuing since 2014. The city lives in smoke. Is it really impossible to add to the “operational services” plan in three years? Obviously, it is unrealistic to put out this fire to local forces, since they managed to localize it.

And since the time of the king of peas, dry grass has burned out in the Asian part of Russia. Last weekend haze of herbal Palais, the central areas of the Krasnoyarsk Territory were worried: the city of Krasnoyarsk, Kansk, as well as the former license plates of Zelenogorsk and Zheleznogorsk. And the largest and most massive pals are now fixed in the Southern Urals and in the Trans-Urals, covering the northeast of the Chelyabinsk region and the bordering sections of the Kurgan and Sverdlovsk regions. This is the zone of the East Ural radioactive trace-the consequence of the accident on September 29, 1957 at the Mayak plant. Several large pallets (more than ten thousand hectares) act in the vicinity of the infamous village of Muslyumovo. Maybe the forces and means that go to all sorts of Switzerland and the development of introductory ones would be more rational to abandon control over the burning of grass?
