Forest Fire near Chernobyl

A forest fire burns near Krasiatychi town, Kyiv region, Ukraine, 60 km from the nuclear power plant. The fire in this forest is one of many in Ukraine now, due to Ukrainians' habit of setting dry grass on fire in spring to clear land for agriculture. One such fire has been burning in the radioactive Chernobyl exclusion zone around the nuclear power plant for more than a week and is still not extinguished.  Radioactive dust is whirled up.
