This year, forest fires occurred primarily in remote areas of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Yamal and Yakutia, according to a statement from the Government press service following a meeting between Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and head of the Federal Agency for Forestry Ivan Sovetnikov.According to Sovetnikov, the fires were linked to “a noticeable northward shift in temperature extremes.”“This summer, temperatures in Vorkuta and Norilsk, for example, exceeded 30оC, which is highly unusual for these areas. In Yamal, meanwhile, fires were recorded in September for the first time in the 25 years that observations have been conducted,” Sovetnikov said.He added that the agency had already begun preparations for the 2027 wildfire season.
