By Laman Sadigova
A very high temperature and a lack of precipitation lead to a huge fire hazard in hot regions of Azerbaijan.
The Ecology Ministry warns citizens to follow fire safety standards.
The ministry urges to use caution when disposing of the following substances: hot ash from BBQ grill, smoker or fire pit, cigarette butts (when not fully extinguished), swimming pool chemicals , rags with oil, cleaner or wood stain on them, paint or primer, any empty, old, or unused oxygen or gas tanks or bottles, kerosene and other fuel oils
Earlier, Deputy Director of the Institute of Geography, Elbrus Alizade, warned that lack of moisture and hot, dry weather are leading to dry forests and forest-steppe zones and are a huge fire hazard.
