Prevention in residential buildings

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 to inspect the households of categorized citizens. The focus is on the safety of housing and its residents. Attention is focused on improving the fire safety level of households of lonely and elderly citizens living alone, disabled people, and large families. When visiting households, attention was paid to fire safety in residential premises and outbuildings. Attention was drawn to 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 the main elements of the stove, compliance with safety requirements during heating, and so on. All visited citizens were instructed on observing safety rules during the operation of stoves.

No less serious problem is the operation of household electrical appliances and wiring with malfunctions. Not only does this threaten 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 leaving young children unattended is strictly forbidden. Adults were also urged to teach children safety rules from early childhood.
