Stopping a fire caused by dry grass can be difficult. Homes or even populated areas can be damaged by burning grass. Grass burns cause very strong smoke, and in many cases become the cause of forest and peat fires. In this regard, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations warns citizens about the inadmissibility of burning dry grass.
