Особенности пожароопасного сезона 2022 года в Курганской области

Abstract

On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the weather conditions, the necessary extinguishing equipment provided and the additional forces and means involvement, the dynamics of the number of forest fires with the area covered during the fire season have been shown in the article. It was established that in 2022, 468 forest fires were recorded in the forest fund of the Kurgan region and their area was 123 709,48 ha. Thanks to the involvement of additional forces and fire extinguishing equipment, despite adverse weather conditions, it was possible to reduce the number of forest fires by 2,8 times compared to 2021 and reduce the number of large fires by 2 times. At the same time, in 2022 an increase in the area covered by fires and the average area of forest fires were recorded. It has been established that in the region there is a tendency to increase the burning of the forests which necessitates more strict control over compliance with fire safety rules. It is recommended to timely introduce a regional emergency mode and more quickly maneuver the fire forces and means. Taking into account that the part of the forest fund part is contaminated with radionuclides as well as swampiness, it is recommended to use aviation forces and means more widely in protecting forests from fires.
