Праздник начинается с безопасности

The holiday begins with safety

From the very first minutes, the area attracted the attention of children and adults. Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations explained how to act correctly in case of fire, reminded about the necessity of autonomous smoke detectors, and answered the villagers' questions.
The format was maximally open and friendly: people approached, inquired, shared stories, and rescuers explained in detail how to avoid dangerous situations in everyday life.
"What should I do if dry grass is burning?" asks a middle-aged man.
"Of course, do not panic, assess the situation. If the fire is small, beat out the flames with a bundle of twigs or branches of deciduous trees, cover it with sand, or pour water on it. But after extinguishing the fire, do not leave until you are sure that the fire has not reignited. If the fire is large, call 101 and 112 immediately," explains a representative of the rescue agency.
Schoolchildren gladly repeated the emergency service numbers, answered questions from the heroes of the "Magic Book of the Ministry of Emergency Situations," and recalled the correct actions in case of fire.
Adults also did not stay aside: many tested their knowledge in an "exam" where they had to correctly answer the rescuers' questions.
For example, a guest from the Republic of Latvia gladly joined the conversation with the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees.
"It's great that today I managed to remember how to use a fire extinguisher correctly," comments a participant of the meeting.
Rescuers also paid special attention to the campaign "Children are not adults! Do not leave them alone!". Next to the interactive zone, a small information corner was set up where specialists reminded adults about the importance of creating a safe environment for children at home and outdoors.
The interactive area became a true prologue to the festive evening. While the audience gathered for the concert, they had time to receive useful advice, communicate with specialists, and feel that safety is not just dry instructions, but a part of our common culture and responsibility.
