In most parts of Ukraine, excluding Crimea, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Zakarpattia regions, an increased fire hazard level has been declared from April 29 to May 1.

This information comes from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center.

During this period, there is a high risk of wildfires and field fires across Ukraine. The most dangerous conditions are expected in the central, southern, eastern, and parts of the northern regions.

The extraordinary (fifth) level of fire hazard entails a complete ban on open flames in forests, fields, and near populated areas. Rescuers urge citizens to adhere to fire safety rules, avoid burning dry grass, and not leave unextinguished campfires in nature.
