Fire in Russia

A fire in Russia is a blaze on the country's territory. Fires in Russia occur due to household causes, due to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian factories that produce weapons or parts for Russia's war against Ukraine, and for other reasons.

A major forest fire in Russia occurred in 2022. That year, over 5 million hectares of forest burned in Russia, mainly in Siberia and the Far East. At the time, fires were extinguished only where there was a threat to settlements. The rest of the forests were left to burn, citing inexpediency and lack of economic sense.
