Airborne pollutants such as carbon monoxide is at six times the normal levels.

So the Russians and the tourists need to wear masks to protect themselves.

The smog got inside the buildings in Moscow.

The State Historical Museum, on Red Square was forced to close because it couldn’t stop its smoke detectors from going off.

The smog is so thick that we can’t see very far away.

Some flights to Moscow’s Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports had been diverted to other airports.

There could also be road accidents because the drivers can’t see clearly in the thick haze.

The fires drew comment from officials and activists at international climate-change talks in Bonn, Germany.

There are natural disasters all over the world.

Russia is burning and Pakistan is drowning.

I think the people in Moscow should avoid going outside because the thick smog can cause accidents and the air quality is very low.

Pictures Of Wildfires In Russia

It has been very hot and dry in Russia.

And there is a wave of wildfires that killed 34 people so far.

It destroyed houses and lots of trees.

This is a disaster.

In Pakistan water destroyed things, but in Russia fire destroyed things.

I took these pictures from Yahoo News.

Local residents stand amidst the ruins of burnt buildings outside the town of Vyksa, some 150 km (93 miles) south-west of the Volga city of Nizhny Novgorod, July 30, 2010.
