If you study safety rules, you live a safe life

It is no secret that observing safety rules can help save lives, health, and property. Everyone knows this, but not everyone always follows it. Why is it so important to adhere to safety rules and what can cause a fire – this and more was discussed by employees of the district department for emergency situations in the Miory district with large families as part of the "Safety in Every Home" campaign.

There are plenty of reasons for fires. In the age of technology, every home is full of sources. These include electrical appliances, which our homes are literally stuffed with, and stove heating, which is more common in rural areas, and matches in unskilled children's hands, and an unextinguished cigarette butt in the hands of a drunk person. And one must be able to foresee danger in order to prevent it. Taking matches away from a younger brother, which are by no means children's toys, unplugging an electrical appliance after use – safety in our homes is in our own hands. It is only important to follow the rules, not neglecting them for temporary pleasure or the desire to show off to friends.

During the event, the benefits of an autonomous fire detector and its difference from a school alarm system were discussed. The emergency service number and safe evacuation rules were recalled. Together, they thought about what everyday items could be useful for extinguishing a nascent fire, briefly touched upon fire safety rules, answered rescuers' questions, and learned new safety rules themselves. Thanks to the methodological materials, the children not only heard about many things but also saw them "live".

The reasons for fires were discussed in more detail, and how to avoid them was recalled. The children themselves correctly identified the main causes: careless handling of fire, violations during the operation of stove heating and electrical equipment, and children's pranks with fire.

At the end of the event, children received visual safety materials as gifts.
