Orazgeldy Kairgeldinov, head of the Bayanaul district, spoke about how fire works are being carried out at a meeting in the regional akimat. According to him, about 150 people and 30 pieces of equipment take part in extinguishing. Approximate fire area – 40 hectares.

– Help arrived from Baymanaul from Kalkaman, Ekibastuz and Maykain,” the district akim reported. – Today a helicopter flew into the area from Ust-Kamenogorsk, in general, the fire has already been localized. Fire fighting is underway.

Akim of Pavlodar region recalled that a fire in a mountainous area, especially considering the strong wind, is a special case, and therefore instructed to conduct round-the-clock duty until the fire was completely extinguished and the air temperature was reduced. In addition, during the meeting Bulat Bakauov criticized the work of local executive bodies and rescuers for the fact that residents of Pavlodar region continue to bathe in forbidden and unequipped places, in connection with which accidents occur on the water.

– Since the beginning of the bathing season, 17 people have sunk in the region, seven of them are children, only last weekend 6 people have drowned, four of them children,” said the head of the region. – The Department of Emergency Situations and akimats of cities and regions did not inspect the places of bathing of the population. In addition, at the proper level there is no explanatory work. Put the most powerful loudspeakers and warn people bathing about the rules of behavior on the water! At Usolka, near the rescue station, people all bathe under the sign “It is prohibited to bathe”, and the policemen sit and watch. Why do they sit? In the area of ​​the Embankment and the “Ertis” ski base, the same thing – even though there is a prohibition sign, people are bathing and no one pays attention to it!

Akim of the region demanded that local leaders take this issue under personal control.
