Russia Takes Measures to Prevent Forest Fires
Moscow, March 28 (KCNA) -- Russia is channeling efforts into preventing forest fires.

The Russian paper Kommersant on March 24 said that the Federal General Bureau for Forest Management would round off the system whereby forests are patrolled by drones and sources of forest fires monitored by a satellite from May 1.

1.5 billion Rbl bigger allocation will be made this year than last year for preventing forest fires. This is the biggest in the last two decades, the paper said.
