This means the fire brigades aren't able to put out the fires. As I understand it, Kharkiv's water supply hasn't been affected and the attacks aren't as heavy so fire services can put any fires out quickly. The fires that are visible are at the points where the Russian advance has stalled. You can see a similar pattern in other areas of the country. In other words, fires == siege or active battlefield. | |

I find it confusing that there have been hardly any fires in Kharkiv in the past 27 days, I wonder if the shelling has just been that much less than in Mariupol. Is it possible to discount the possibility that there is a weak correlation between shelling and fires, and that the many fires in Mariupol are accounted for by more vehicle fires (tanks/APCs) due to close-in urban fighting compared to Kharkiv? Would the Fire Information for Resource Management system pick up vehicle fires? | |
