A man died in the Kyiv region while burning dry vegetation
A local resident died in the town of Skvyra, in the Bila Tserkva district of Kyiv Oblast, while burning dry vegetation on a private plot of land.
This was reported by the press service of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.
The flames quickly spread through the dry vegetation, and the man fell into the fire, sustaining fatal injuries. Law enforcement officials are currently investigating the circumstances of the incident.
According to rescue workers, 43 fires broke out in the Kyiv region over the past 24 hours, covering more than 10 hectares of land. Since the beginning of the year, over 3,500 fires have been recorded in Ukraine’s ecosystems, covering a total area of more than 93,000 hectares.
Rescue workers are urging citizens to be careful and not to burn dry vegetation, as fire does not forgive carelessness.
As a reminder, on March 22, a massive fire broke out in the Brovary district of the Kyiv region, and the smoke from it covered a significant part of the capital.
