Abstract
Forest fires constitute a major factor that negatively affects an environmental and resource potential of Russian forests. The problem of fighting forest fires in the context of forest legislation reform is becoming more and more topical. The article highlights that, despite the measures taken, the majority of negative tendencies that negatively influence protection of forests from fires, remain. The author analyzes the legal consequences for the formation of an effective system of prevention and suppression of emergency situations caused by forest fires by means of adoption of Federal Law of June 23, 2016 № 218-FZ "On Amendments to the Forest Code of the Russian Federation and Separate Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation with regard to Improving the Legal Relations concerning Forests." It is shown that legislation in the field of protection of forests from fires has undergone drastic changes aimed at ensuring effective coordination of actions of various departments and bodies for the purpose of prevention and suppression of forest fires, as well as increasing responsibility of all participants of forest relations including citizens. On the basis of the analysis the author formulates proposals for improving legal mechanisms of forests protection.
