In the Kurgan region, police units mobilized at a regional scale to preserve public order in zones impacted by active wildfires. Telegram updates from the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior confirmed the deployment of a special operations regime labeled “Typhoon,” aimed at coordinating fire response and ensuring community safety across affected settlements. The emergency measures emphasize rapid communication, orderly crowd management, and a unified command structure to handle evolving fire conditions and protect residents and property alike.
Authorities from the state traffic inspectorate instituted controlled rerouting and reverse traffic flows along key road corridors near Kurgan and within several district centers. Traffic police officers prioritized the safe passage of private vehicles and emergency responders, enabling swift access for firefighting teams, medical units, and essential service crews. The Ministry of Interior press service noted the establishment of 24-hour police squads stationed in towns and villages inside the region to deter looting, support evacuees, and uphold legal order during the crisis. The overarching objective is to reduce risk, maintain mobility for relief operations, and reassure the public in the face of environmental hazards triggered by the fires.
Current operational details indicate that roughly 400 personnel and over 100 vehicles have been mobilized to manage public order in fire zones, with an emphasis on interagency coordination and rapid risk assessment. To streamline the crisis response, Andrey Mamaev, the deputy head of police responsible for safeguarding regional security, traveled to the fire-affected areas to supervise field activities and ensure effective command leadership. Earlier reports confirmed his deployment to settlements across the Kurgan region due to heightened fire danger. In line with the broader emergency response, Alexander Kurenkov, head of the Ministry of Emergencies, also departed to join the operational group to coordinate rescue and firefighting operations on the ground, assess the evolving situation, and communicate timely guidance to regional authorities and residents.
