The Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that prohibits the burning of dry grass in the agricultural fields, reserve lands, protected areas of railways, overpasses and product pipelines. Previously, it was only a prohibition on the burning of stubble and building of bonfires in the fields. Now, it is not allowed to burn dry grass also on agricultural land, protected zones of railways, overpasses and product pipelines.

The changes are aimed at the promotion of fire safety of populated areas, infrastructure facilities and forest reserves.

The proposal to tighten the rules of dry grass burning was previously made by the head of the Federal Forestry Agency, the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Ivan Valentik. According to him, the dry grass burning is the main cause of wildfires occurring in Russia almost every summer. The last large-scale emergency of this kind was the autumn wildfires in Khakassia during which 15 people died.
