Rescuers of Miory region intensified the inspection of citizens' housing stock on weekends

From May 1st to 4th, rescuers of Miory district will intensify their work on inspecting the housing stock of citizens in the territory of Miory town and Miory district. Private houses and apartments in apartment buildings will be inspected by rescuers.

The purpose of this work is to increase the level of fire protection for the population and to prevent fires and deaths from them. Special attention will be paid to apartments and houses where socially vulnerable categories of the population live: large families, lonely pensioners and disabled people, as well as citizens leading an antisocial lifestyle.

During the inspections, rescuers will focus on the presence and operability of autonomous fire detectors, the condition of stove heating (if any), the state of electrical wiring and electrical equipment, as well as on the rules for maintaining order on adjacent territories. As part of the conducted inspections, citizens will be given recommendations for eliminating identified violations.

The main goal of the measures taken is to prevent fires and preserve the life and health of people. Citizens are advised to treat the conducted inspections with understanding and cooperate with rescuers in ensuring fire safety. Remember, following simple rules can save your life and property!

Since the beginning of the year, the Vitebsk region has seen an increase in fires and deaths from them. 345 fires have been recorded (+50 cases compared to last year), and 32 people have died (+10 cases compared to 2024).
