    Hi Axel and others,

    to the point, ongoing data on the fire situation around Lake Baikal (including some part of northern Mongolia, between ca 103 and 112 deg. E and to south up to 49 deg. N) having been obtained daily can be found at http://www.eostation.irk.ru/data/firecal.html?rid=bpt&srid=irk_bpt
    (in Russian but can be understood in the context I hope)
