CNN
Eight people were killed over the weekend and hundreds of homes damaged in the fires, which tore through Siberian villages.
Putin warned that there should be no repeat of last year's fires, which were the biggest on record for Russia.
"I would like to draw special attention to the fact that we cannot allow for the situation of last year to repeat, when forest fires became the longest and most intense over the past few years," he said. "We need to fight fires more efficiently, systematically, consistently, and improve the quality and level of all types of prevention."
