Hlybokaye. Prevention, safety, responsibility: the main themes of the special preventive event "House without fire"
Since the beginning of the year, fifteen fires have occurred in the Glubokoye district, five of which resulted in fatalities. As rescuers note, most fires occur in residential buildings where the most vulnerable categories of citizens live. To reduce risks and strengthen prevention, the special preventive event "House without fire" is being held in the district. Employees of the Vitebsk Regional Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and representatives of other interested services took part in its implementation.
In order to reduce the number of fires and fatalities from them, employees of the Vitebsk Regional Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Glubokoye District Department for Emergency Situations continue to inspect the fire safety of citizens' homes.
This time, representatives of the rescue department went on a raid in the city of Glubokoye.
For reference. Given the significant increase in the number of fires and fires with fatalities in 2026, the special preventive event is organized in the Golubichsky rural council and the city of Glubokoye.
Rescuers inspected residential buildings and apartments, assessing their compliance with fire safety regulations. Special attention was paid to the condition of stove heating: they checked the presence and correct dimensions of hearth mats, the proper installation of heating appliances, as well as the absence of cracks in stoves and chimneys.
"Most fires occur precisely due to faulty stove heating or violation of its operating rules," emphasize employees of the Vitebsk Regional Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, communicating with city residents.
Specialists also assessed the operability of autonomous fire alarms. The absence of such a device or its malfunction significantly increases the risk of severe consequences in case of fire.
During preventive raids, electrical wiring did not escape the rescuers' attention. They checked for damage, network overloads, and other violations that could lead to ignition. Residents were reminded of the rules for safe use of electrical appliances: do not leave them unattended, do not use homemade extension cords, and monitor the condition of sockets and switches.
A rural meeting was held in the agro-town of Golubichi, which became an important platform for discussing safety issues.
For reference. In February of the current year, a man died in a fire in the agro-town of Golubichi, Gluboksky district.
During the meeting, special attention was paid to fire safety issues, including the proper handling of fire and electrical appliances. The Deputy Head of the Gluboksky District Department for Emergency Situations, Ruslan Ermakovich, focused on the topical issue of the spring season: tidying up the adjacent territory, and spoke about the inadmissibility of burning dry vegetation.
"Do not use fire to tidy up household plots. This can lead to tragedy: residential buildings and outbuildings catch fire from burning grass, the fire spreads to forest areas and can take on threatening proportions," the rescuer noted.
The Head of the Gluboksky District Department for Emergency Situations, Alexey Kissel, met with specialists from the machine yard of the agricultural enterprise "Mereckie". The Ministry of Emergency Situations employee spoke about the most common causes of fires and other emergencies.
Special attention is paid to the human factor, because it is he who most often becomes the starting point of incidents. Alexey Kissel gave real examples, explaining how a small mistake can lead to serious consequences, and what each person can do to avoid it.
"It is important that all safety rules are not just a set of laws, but become part of our daily life," Alexey Kissel addressed the audience.
