The representative of Ust-Aldan district Afanasy Afanasyev commented on the situation: "We have a very difficult fire situation in the area now.

We believe that the situation with forest fires will stabilize.”
The representative of the Tomponsky district Dmtriy: "On behalf of the entire population of our district, we want to thank you for helping those who extinguish fires. They often do not know where the financial support comes from, but they immediately accept equipment and products, it all gives them more strength. Yesterday we were given a tractor to make a mineral path, but the forest is still burning, and it's very dangerous. We are waiting for another helicopter. Everyone is helping, the locals are working, you guys are helping, the government is also supporting us, thank you all.”
