Attention! Fire hazard period!
April 10, 2025
With the arrival of warm weather, owners of private households tidy up their personal plots, including by burning garbage and dry vegetation. Often, burning garbage, dry vegetation, and shrubs leads to the spread of fire to residential buildings and outbuildings. Sometimes, a seemingly harmless fire leads to tragedy – loss of life.
To prevent fire emergencies, simple safety rules should be followed when making fires and cooking on a grill (barbecue), namely:
– use special devices for cooking, fires should be made under the condition of continuous monitoring of the burning and smoldering process;
– places for making fires should be cleared of combustible substances and materials, dry vegetation, and equipped with extinguishing agents;
– the burning and smoldering process should be carried out in such a way that flames and sparks do not fall on combustible elements of buildings, outbuildings, and structures, as well as on stored combustible substances and materials;
– upon completion of the burning process, the remnants of burning (smoldering) materials should be extinguished until smoldering completely stops.
– do not allow fires to be made on peat soils, under tree crowns;
– do not allow fires to be made, or special devices for cooking to be used on balconies, loggias, terraces, roofs, and stilobates, except in cases where their placement is provided for by design documentation;
– do not allow the burning of dry vegetation in situ on the adjacent territory, land plots provided for collective gardening or dacha construction.
It should be remembered that administrative responsibility is provided for burning dry vegetation in situ, post-harvest residues, as well as for failure to take measures to extinguish fires.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds you that if you witness any emergency situation or an incident happens to you, report it to the rescuers by calling 101 or 112.
