FIRE PRONE SITUATION REPORTED IN SEVERAL MARZES OF ARMENIA
Fire prone situation has set off in Ararat valley, Tavush and Siunik
Marzes of Armenia. Armenian Hydrological service told Panorama.am that
the indicator is 4. According to the same source, the danger will
persist next week due to rise in air temperature. The highest
indicator of fire emergency, score 5, may be recorded August 15 and
16. No atmospheric precipitations are expected throughout the republic
increasing the likelihood of fire eruptions.
According to data released by the emergency services, fires are being
recorded in the Armenian capital and its vicinities almost every
day. Several hectares of gardens and fruit trees have been burnt down
in Ararat and Armavir marzes recently. Dry grassstacks on fire sum up
to several dozen hectares already.
