New Threat in Kyiv Region: Rescuers Battle Grass Fire

This week firefighters had a tough job battling fires caused by an elderly woman.

In Borodyanka, a pensioner stubbornly set dry grass on fire, and even the pleas of the rescuers did not help her to stop. Two stacks of hay burned down, but the firefighters could not cope with the stubborn old lady.

During the third fire, rescuers were already working together with the police to contain the fire on a farmer’s field, provoked by the elderly woman.
