So it wasn't the often ridiculed Russian nuclear program which caused this. It was wild fires which were evidently ignored close to a nuclear research facility.

If it were Tony Hayward, his children's children would be in a gulag.

Had something like that happened on Stalin's summer holiday, nobody would have ever seen the officers again. :dead:

Aside from the naval base, 48 people have perished. Not good. :cry:

Damn, these wildfires are really out of control. I guess it's just something that Russia is not used to having to combat.

That appears to be the case. Apparently they've had quite a heat wave this year. Must have turned their forests into tinder boxes.

Well at least they don't have to contend with a radioactive release as well, or at least for the moment.

I wonder what fire fighting equipment they use?

Well it didn't burn down but they moved all the nasty stuff just in case.

Somewhere else a base did catch fire.

My inlaws have come over to us a for a couple of weeks to enjoy the normal Scottish weather. In fact it isn't too bad. About 18 degrees, and rain in the evening.

Seriously I saw some of their fire engines on TV, they look like they are from the 1950's. :o

All services which protected woods from fires in 2007 emperor Palputin and Dart Medveider have destroyed. In the country it is possible to buy, everything, and to extinguish a fire there is nothing.

When there was Soviet Union fires were, but with them struggled within a week. And now almost woods and peat every summer burn. To the government all the same, it at the sea has a rest. Likely all have forgotten Revolution of 1917, I feel that soon it to repeat. At us it is a lot of columns, all will hang.
