The Tyumen region’s information center reports that the state of emergency declared due to wildfires has been lifted. This update comes from DEA News.
From June 1, the regional government announced the emergency regime is no longer in effect, with Governor Alexander Moor signing the corresponding decree. The region remains under a special fire regime that keeps forest access restricted and bans open flames in forested areas. Emergency response units continue to operate under a high alert status.
Earlier updates indicated that residents of communities within the Tyumen region began to evacuate because of the fires, underscoring the severity of the situation.
Governor Moor had previously declared a regional state of emergency on May 7 due to extensive forest fires. The day before, the Tyumen government information center reported that a fire originating in Sverdlovsk Oblast had forced residents of the Ushakov settlement to evacuate. These developments were reported by DEA News and subsequent regional briefings. [Citation: DEA News]
