Note – the fire-dangerous period!

In spring and summer, the number of fires associated with the burning of dry grass and garbage on the streets of cities, in rural localities, in forest and Park areas, on farmlands, on homesteads increases sharply.

A significant part of fires occur due to uncontrolled agricultural fires (burning of last year's grass and straw), forests are ablaze and due to the careless handling of fire by fishermen and hunters. This is also due to the cleaning of garden plots (and, as a result, the burning of garbage and grass) and the mass departure of the population to nature (campfires, carelessness when Smoking, etc.).

This often leads to serious consequences. The fire spreads to steppe massifs, outbuildings, residential and non-residential buildings. The grass, which has flared up like gunpowder, is carried by a gust of wind on a wooden building in a split second, and it immediately catches fire. In addition, fires emit a huge amount of smoke into the atmosphere, which contains dangerous pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide. Residents of both cities and rural localities suffer from smoke.

So who is to blame for these fires? Smokers are to blame for a number of these fires. An unlit match or cigarette butt thrown into the dry grass turns into a "burning carpet"in a matter of seconds. A lot of trouble for employees of the fire service during this period is caused by children's pranks with fire. Children do not understand how much trouble and misery a grass fire can bring. But the area of such fires can reach tens of thousands of square meters. And if a fence, shed, or even a house gets in the way of the fire, they will also suffer.

Another" fire hazard category " of the population during this period is gardeners and residents of the private sector. Every year, huge damage to nature is caused by the burning of dry grass and foliage in the spring on land and garden plots directly adjacent to the forest Park zone.

In this regard, the employees of the Ochs Zharma district urge you to be especially careful and cautious in the spring and summer fire season.

In hot, dry weather conditions in the private sector, at enterprises, conducting fire-hazardous works, stoves, kitchen hearths and boiler installations running on solid fuel should be temporarily suspended, until the situation improves. It is necessary to observe fire safety measures during this period and when visiting natural territories.
