Winter holidays are usually prepared for in advance, ensuring that these days bring joy and leave the most pleasant memories. However, in the pre-holiday rush, people often forget about the important: the need to protect themselves and others from fire incidents, because such attributes of upcoming celebrations as electric garlands, sparklers and candles, firecrackers and fireworks can seriously spoil the good mood. How to avoid this? The answer is simple: play the New Year's fairy tale strictly according to the rules of fire safety.

If you decide to make the New Year holidays colorful and unforgettable with the help of fireworks, firecrackers and sparklers. To avoid spoiling the holidays, it is important to remember the rules for the safe use of pyrotechnic products.
