In the Tyumen region, authorities describe the wildfire situation as still challenging, with strong shifts in weather continuing to push firefighting teams to the most affected areas. The governor noted that the core preservation and suppression resources have been redirected to the zones where fires are most active, ensuring that ground crews, aviation support, and equipment are concentrated at critical points along the fire front.
Officials emphasized that the firefighting effort is focused on several key locations identified as hot spots. These include the villages of Krasny Yar, Krivodanov, Rechkina, Konyashina, Mullashi, Uspenka, and Bogandinsky. In these areas, teams are coordinating containment lines, reinforcing water supply, and deploying additional personnel to protect inhabited areas and critical infrastructure while monitoring conditions that could drive the flames toward new territories.
The region’s leadership cautioned that if wind patterns remain stable and do not intensify as they did on certain days, the fire suppression operations may progressively reduce the blaze. Fire groups are prepared for rapid response to any flare-ups, with air and ground units working in tandem to extend containment and minimize the risk to residents and ecosystems.
Earlier information indicated that residents in settlements within the Tyumen region began evacuating as the fires spread, prompting authorities to activate emergency protocols and coordinate evacuation routes. The regional emergency response teams have been mobilized to assist displaced residents, provide temporary shelter, and ensure access to necessary resources during the evacuation process.
Prior to these developments, the government declared a regional emergency due to forest fires that began on May 7. The day before, the government information center reported that a fire originating from Sverdlovsk region compelled residents of Ushakov, a Tyumen village, to evacuate. Officials continue to monitor the evolving fire map, assess risk levels, and communicate with communities to ensure safety procedures are understood and followed.
