Deep. Not fashionable! Fashionable — not to smoke

November 18, 2024

“Not fashionable! It is fashionable not to smoke and observe fire safety rules” – this is the opinion of the youth who actively joined the campaign “Don’t burn out your life”. Glubokoye rescuers continue their preventive measures.

To draw attention to the problem of deaths in fires due to smoking, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations engage with different categories of citizens. Youth are no exception. Rescuers visit college classrooms and senior high school rooms with preventive talks and interactive tasks to convey the important message: “your safety is in your hands.”

—Fires have long been one of the greatest disasters, claiming many lives and causing enormous damage. Even today, despite technological progress, this issue remains relevant. Unfortunately, most fires occur due to human carelessness. Currently, the main cause of fires is careless handling of fire, particularly during smoking, - says Darya Kapshul, inspector of the propaganda and public relations sector of the Glubokoye District Department for Emergency Situations.

They analyze tragic scenarios: “started smoking – unextinguished cigarette – tragedy,” “drank – smoked – fell asleep – didn’t wake up,” created a photowork of a “smoker,” and followed a “smoker’s map.”

— And such scenarios are not isolated; as a rule, they all end tragically, with losses and victims. But it is naive to believe that the problem of “careless handling of fire during smoking” only concerns those who smoke.

Together with the rescuers, the children develop “safety formulas,” focus on the rules for using a fire extinguisher, and familiarize themselves with primary fire extinguishing agents.
