St. Petersburg declared fire season as warm, dry weather arrived. Governor Alexander Beglov signed the order, as officials expect more grass fires, trash burning, and campfires. City administrators clarified that the announcement doesn't restrict public activities.
The city might introduce special fire safety rules with extra precautions if the heat intensifies. For now, residents just need to follow basic safety guidelines outdoors. Earlier this month, rumors circulated about drones watching summer residents and private homeowners cooking on barbecues.
Officials monitor weather conditions closely during spring when vegetation dries quickly. The fire department remains ready to respond if conditions worsen. Most springtime blazes start from human activity rather than natural causes. Local fire stations increased staffing levels to handle potential incidents. Community alerts will go out if danger levels rise significantly.
