Russia wildfires: Nesting stork camera captures devastation of spreading blaze

A surveillance camera overlooking an endangered oriental white stork nest in Russian Far East captured an apocalyptic scene of a wildfire spreading in a field on April 28. The wildfire went by without doing any harm to the birds.
The camera was installed at a power pylon as a part of World Wildlife Fund Russia project to monitor the stork family online.
At least 49 wildfires are burning throughout Russia now, with the combined blaze ranging over than 72,000 acres, the Russian Federal Forestry Agency said.

Hey Global, how about a bit less hyperbole in your text eh? Devastation? Apocalyptic scene? How about a pretty slow moving dry ground scrub fire that looks to started to have been grown back over like a month later in the clip you've posted.

Smart stork finds a non-combustible tree.

There are no trees there. It's a metal structure.

Anyone notice the grass somehow grew quick after the fire, I want some of that soil in my flower bed.

[@Crazyman1212]

fire chemically converts nutrients bound in dead plant tissues and the soil surface to more available forms or the fire indirectly increases mineralization rates through its impacts on soil microorganisms.

[@Crazyman1212]

@@mariaescandon8022 it is. Some tree species actually grow seedlings that only activate after a forest fire for new grow.

stuff

[@Salgood]

Looks like dried grass and ground cover. Pretty not apocalyptic really. Also starting to grow back a month later at the end of the clip.

[@oregonnich]

just short grass, very common, will be green by next year and actually helps the environment than humans like to think. People have PREVENTED natures way of fires, so with all our interventions of PREVENTING fire, we have huge overgrown forests that torch up like matches and burn everything. Nature used to take care of everything better.

[@gregorypeck1000]

Is this grass?
