A house without a fire is a safe house

From February 11 to 17, a special preventive event "House without Fire" was held in the Miory district, aimed at preventing fires and deaths from them in housing.

To prevent fire incidents, employees of the Miory District Department of Emergency Situations, both individually and in cooperation with prevention entities, visited the households of categorized citizens in the territory of Povetsky and Perebrodsky rural Soviets. During the inspection of housing, representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reminded citizens of the need for strict adherence to fire safety rules in everyday life, and gave examples of fires with fatalities.

– This event was held with the aim of reducing the occurrence of fires in the housing stock and preventing deaths. "House without Fire" includes preventive measures in households where the fire safety status is visually assessed. Explanatory conversations were held with citizens, and recommendations were given for eliminating identified violations, – says Oleg Bunta, Deputy Head of the District Department of Emergency Situations. – However, as practice shows, preventive warnings alone are not enough.

As part of the preventive work, Alexey Korolev, Deputy Head of the Miory District Department of Emergency Situations, met with residents of the agro-town of Povets and the village of Perebrodye. In his address to the residents, he emphasized: "The onset of frosts is a time of increased danger. Stove heating, electric heaters, careless handling of fire – all this can lead to tragedy. Our task is to prevent this."

At the meetings, the causes of fires in the winter period were analyzed in detail. Special attention was paid to the rules for operating stove heating, operating electrical equipment, as well as the inadmissibility of children's mischief with fire.

In addition to practical advice, everyone received visual materials with useful tips.
