Fire is the enemy

The hot and dry weather in the area allows residents to start cleaning their homes after winter. 60 percent of steppe fires are caused by people. The main reason for this is our negligence and irresponsibility. Three and a half thousand steppe fires and ignitions are extinguished in the country every year. This poses a threat to human life and health and material costs. It is necessary to follow the rules for using fire in nature. We remind you that improper use of fire is a crime provided for by Article 336 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
