Yellow fire code, ten days nationwide: what the law bans and what burning stubble costs

The Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring has extended its warning of exceptional danger of vegetation fires until 31 July, for most of the country — including the Ungheni district, in the middle of its harvest campaign. The law bans burning stubble and plant residue, and the fine reaches 15,000 lei for an individual and 40,000 for a company. Last year, fires lit by people were the main cause of blazes in the fields.

Fire at the Costuleni dump: district town halls warn that burning vegetation carries fines of 10,000–15,000 lei

Costuleni Town Hall filmed a new fire at the village dump, a few days after it had asked people not to burn dry vegetation. On the same day, Cioropcani Town Hall issued its own warning. The fire does not come from the day's heat — it is cooler now — but from vegetation left dry after the heatwave and from fires left unattended, an act for which the law provides stinging fines.
