Fire hazard period

There is not much time left before the warm dry weather sets in. As the practice of the past years shows, at this time the number of fires caused by the burning of dry grass and garbage on the streets of cities, in rural localities, in forest, in pack zones, in farmlands, on homesteads increases sharply.
A significant part of fires occur due to uncontrolled agricultural waste (burning of last year's grass and straw), forests are burning and due to negligent 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 woodlands, farm buildings, residential non-residential buildings. The grass that 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 suffer from smoke. In addition, huge amounts of money are spent on extinguishing such fires.
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 suffer. Another" fire hazard category " of the population in this period are 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.
With the arrival of spring, a lot of people go to the forest. In these cases, the most common cause of disaster is not extinguished fires, abandoned cigarette butts, matches. But in warm, dry weather, a spark is enough to ignite a fire, especially in a coniferous forest. In this regard, we urge You to be particularly careful and cautious during the spring and summer fire season.
Smokers should not throw cigarette butts and matches on the ground, because there are specially equipped bins for this purpose. It is necessary to monitor what children are doing, to stop any pranks of minors with fire. On the territory of the private residential sector, suburban gardening settlements in case of fire, it is necessary to have water reserves for fire extinguishing purposes, as well as to determine the order and methods of calling the fire Department.
Do not forget that the law provides for administrative and criminal liability for violation of fire safety Rules.
