A home without a fire is a safe home

 

From June 22 to 26, a special preventive event "House without Fire" was held in the Miory district, aimed at preventing fires and deaths from them in housing.

The operational situation with fires in the Miory district is complex. Since the beginning of the year, 17 fire incidents have occurred, resulting in 2 deaths. To prevent fires, employees of the Miory District Department for Emergency Situations, both individually and jointly with prevention entities, visited households of categorized citizens in the Uzmensky rural Council and the city of Miory. 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, citing examples of fatal fires.

– 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 the Deputy Head of the District Department for Emergency Situations, Oleg Bunta. – However, as practice shows, mere warnings are not enough.

As part of the preventive work, the Head of the Miory District Department for Emergency Situations, Vladimir Rachitsky, met with residents of the agro-town of Uzmena. In his address to the residents, he emphasized: "Stove heating, electric heaters, careless handling of fire – all this can lead to tragedy. Our task is to prevent this."

At the meeting, the causes of fires were discussed 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.
