A blanket of smoke from fires in Siberia is so huge it can be seen from nearly 1 million miles away in space

Despite all the smoke, the Russian government says burning in not terribly extensive. On July 18th, it reported that 77 fires were burning on 45 square miles of territory, an area smaller than Washington D.C. For the year to date, the government says 2,583 square miles have burned.



My question, is where do they find the manpower to fight fires like this is such desolate and isolated locations?
