Firefighers and rescuers were battling the blaze in the territory of Mikhaylauskaye-Agra farm when suddenly a mini-tornado formed on the site.
According to the farm workers, the fire might have been caused by a spark from the muffler of a truck that was carrying rye. Dry straw immediately flamed up, and the driver did not manage to extinguish the fire.
5 hectares of straw and about 200 square metres of unharvested rye have burnt.
