Fire in fields
Another fire broke out in the fields near homes on Hovsep Emin street on Saturday and this is not the only case at the Hrazdan Dam.
Residents say that the same thing happens every year.
"Children play with matches and get happy when the fire starts to burn. We face problems because there is no water to put out the fire."
Residents say that this time the fire caused more damage.
The fire burned down Gvidon Ghazaryan's field first. According to Ghazaryan, the fire left the field completely burnt.
"All the neighbors called firefighters. They came after an hour and a half and told us that they had no water and no hose. But I know that their hoses can reach 1,000 meters. They didn't put out the fire and there was still fire until midday the next day."
Gvidon says that he is self-reliant. "There was little irrigation water. I filled the bucket with some water, but still no help. My whole field was burned down."
Hruhi Karakhanyan's fields were not damaged as much.
"We always hope with fear that nothing will happen to our homes. We have planted two fruit trees for our grandchildren, but the fire just takes everything away."
