As Europe is drowning, Tuva is on fire. To date there have been over forty forest fires that have covered over 3,353 hectars (8,285 acres) of Tuva. Luckily the last two days of heavy rain has extinguished most of the fires. One hundred twenty-two 'fire-jumpers' invited to Tuva from neighboring regions are standing by to fight more fires, should the coming hot weather re-ignite them.
