At the forest firefighting center in the Krasnoyarsk territory, a critical situation has arisen with the wages of the workers involved in fighting forest fires this summer. Despite promises of payments back in September, the workers still haven't received a penny for overtime and the work itself for the fires that started in mid-June. The reason for the delays is the lack of funds at the forest fire station itself. Funding from the federal budget to compensate for fire damage has been allocated by the government of the Russian Federation, but according to the source, the funds will not reach the region until next month. Against the backdrop of a financial deficit, the institution's management began to save on employees: the actual working time in fires (14-16 hours) on the accounting sheets was cut to 10-12 hours. The problems concern not only ordinary workers, but also contractors. The companies that provided planes to transfer troops and equipment to the fire sites also did not receive payment for the rental. In this context, carriers are preparing to file lawsuits against the Moked for Extinguishing Forests. The employees point out that the situation with underfunding is systemic. Given the fact that the employee's salary is only 5,000 rubles, and most of the income is derived from bonuses, the management actively uses this program to "optimize" expenses. At the same time, according to sources, directors and their deputies receive annual bonuses every year, as opposed to ranks. The prosecutor's tests, which are carried out on the facts of the violations, according to the firefighters, do not reveal any problems - "everything is good and smooth". In the absence of adequate funding, the center's management is creative in procurement; In December last year, they purchased a mini excavator for firefighting. However, according to experts, the use of this equipment in the taiga is impossible: it requires an asphalt road to operate. As a result, the excavator was not used in any fire.
