Prevention in the housing stock

In connection with the increase in the number of fires in the residential sector, as well as within the framework of the preventive campaign "Together for Safety", employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Miory region, both individually and in cooperation with prevention entities, are carrying out preventive work on inspecting the households of categorized citizens.

The focus is on the safety of housing and its residents. Attention is paid to improving the fire safety of households of lonely and single elderly citizens, disabled people, and large families. During household visits, attention was paid to fire safety in residential premises and outbuildings. Emphasis was placed on the safe operation of stove heating inside houses, in bathhouses, and outbuildings: the condition of chimneys, including in hard-to-reach places (attics, mansard floors), the presence of basic stove elements, compliance with safety requirements during heating, and so on. All visited citizens were instructed on observing safety rules during stove operation.

No less serious problem is the operation of household electrical appliances and wiring with malfunctions. Not only does this pose a risk of electric shock, but it is also another cause of fires. During preventive work, citizens' attention was also focused on this.

In families with children, parents were reminded that children should never be left unattended. Adults were also urged to teach children safety rules from early childhood.
