The village of Slobidske in the Kharkiv region is under threat due to the burning of dry grass, which provoked a large-scale fire. This is reported by the press service of the State Emergency Service, UNN writes.

Details

It is noted that yesterday, March 13, on the outskirts of the village of Slobidske, Kharkiv district, dry grass caught fire. Due to windy weather, the fire quickly spread over a large area.

Residents raised the alarm only when the fire began to approach the borders of human settlements.

By the time the rescuers arrived, the total area of the fire had already reached 7 hectares. More than 50 rescuers and 10 tankers were sent to eliminate the fire and save the village 

- the SES said. 

Rescuers say that it was difficult to extinguish the fire due to strong wind gusts, swampy terrain and a large mass of dense dry vegetation and shrubs. It took more than 13 hours for the SES to eliminate it.
