PSD urges Government to send rescuers to Moscow to help deal with fires

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) recommends the Government of Moldova to dispatch employees of the Civil Protection and Emergencies Service, the Ministry of the Interior or the Carabineer Troops Department to the Russian capital to assist in liquidating the consequences of wildfires there, Info-Prim Neo reports. In a statement, the PSD says Moldova was helped by foreign partners in flood cleanup and it should also show solidarity and assist Russia. Russia is suffering through its worst heat wave on record, a condition that has sparked forest and peat fires across its central and western regions. Thick smog from raging wildfires engulfed the capital city. Moscow's 10 million residents were cautioned to protect themselves against the polluting smog. President Dmitry Medvedev declared a state of emergency in seven regions.
