Abstract. It is noted that forest fires are a constant problem of the Trans-Baikal territory, related to the specifics of the region. The reasons for such fires are indicated -natural phenomena and the human factor. The fire-dangerous period in Transbaikalia, which lasts from early spring to mid-October, is characterized. The work of operational services, including the Service for disaster medicine, in this period is presented.
The reason for the emergency situation (ES) – the burning of dry vegetation (human factor) – occurred on April 19, 2019 in 17 localities in 13 municipal districts of the region. The article estimates the damage resulting from the emergency – 1 billion rubles, and its medical and sanitary consequences – 86 people injured 9 of them hospitalized.
