Wildfires which have scorched parts of Siberia this summer on the back of a prolonged heatwave wave spreasd to a remote Russian nature reserve on Saturday.

The fire has been raging in the forest of the Denezhkin Kamen Nature Reserve for a week and hit the area of 30 hectares (74 acres).

Russia's Aerial Forest Protection Service on Saturday reported 153 active fires across the country, with 40 of them in Sverdlovsk region.

Strong winds and lack of natural water resources for firefighters have exacerbated the spread of the fires at the reserve, with helicopters bringing the only source of water necessary to stop the spread.

According to Aerial Forest Protection Service, lightning could have sparked the massive fires.
