Special drills to extinguish a large forest fire were held in Gorodok District on 15 April. According to the hypothetical scenario, abnormally hot and dry weather led to numerous grass fires that later spread to the forest, posing a threat to private homes and facilities of the Defense Ministry adjoining the forest. The drills featured aviation of the Emergencies Ministry, special machinery of Belarusian emergency units, forestry enterprises, the Defense Ministry, and so on.
