Firefighters have extinguished six out of 27 wildfires in Russia's Far East over the past 24 hours, the Emergencies Ministry reported on Friday. Russia is trying to prevent a repeat of last summer's disaster, when an unprecedented heat wave caused massive wildfires, which killed 62 people and left thousands homeless. "A total of 21 fires were registered at 1 a.m. Moscow time [2100 GMT Thursday] on an area of 24.56 hectares; nine of them have been localized," a ministry spokesman said. A special anti-fire regime was earlier introduced in many regions of the Far East due to dry and hot weather.
