Russian Forest Products Association collects funds for forest fire victims in Irkutsk region

Russian National Forest Products Association has begun to collect funds for residents in remote town of Irkutsk region, where a wildfire has left 30 families homeless. Presently, 94 people (including 14 children) have found a shelter and live in the local school, which was saved from the fire.

Although suffering a great personal loss, all of the fire victims are determined to stay in this small remote taiga settlement, rather than to relocate. Collected funds will go to affected victims, to help with a day-to-day needs, however much more will be needed to fully rebuild and reconstruct damaged homes and personal properties.
