The author analyzed the features of the fire hazard season in 2018, in particular – the number of fires, area, forest development, climatic conditions, vegetation, as well as technical equipment and the level of forest protection. The considered forests are located in specially protected natural areas where active recreation is provided for the population. In this connection, the high probability of fires from anthropogenic factors. It is noted that at the beginning of the fire hazard season there is the largest number of fires – 89% that occur due to human faults. From April to June, 73% of fires are registered, which prevail in area. And in July, the risk of fire from “dry” thunderstorms is high. However, despite the complexity of extinguishing fires and the remoteness from settlements, the coherence and efficiency of the work of the employees of the forest fire center was noted. This is confirmed by an active fight against forest fires – 100%.
