Few firefighters to put out blazes

Provincial authorities must throw all the manpower they have at fighting the wildfires sweeping through western Russia, a top emergency official said Aug. 3 in a tacit acknowledgment there were not enough professional firefighters to go around. The fires — in forests, fields and peat bogs — have killed 40 people so far and come after weeks of searing heat and practically no rain. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had warned earlier that local officials who don't respond adequately to the fires that have destroyed nearly 2,000 homes risk losing their jobs. (AP)
