The incomparable mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, as it turns out, did not return from vacation not because he is afraid of fires or, God forbid, is too lazy to help his city. No, he just didn't need it. He also gave orders from vacation. As his first deputy Vladimir Resin reported, thanks to the mayor’s instructions, it was even possible to reduce the number of fires by 7–8 percent, and firefighting and watering equipment and people were sent to help in the Moscow region.
