Safety during the heating season

During the heating season, fires are caused by gross violations of fire safety rules during the operation of heating systems and installations, and in particular stove heating, which is often operated with cracks in chimneys, without cutting to combustible structures of walls, partitions and ceilings, as well as without pre-furnace sheets.

Household items and other combustible materials left over the ovens to dry also lead to fiery tragedies. Quite a few fires occur due to violations of fire safety rules during the operation of electrical appliances, faulty electrical equipment, improvised electrical installations and overloading the electrical network. The most common electrical culprit is an electric heater: only a few meters in a room will burn out, and the worst consequences are the death of people.

I would like the citizens to pay attention to the comments, warnings and recommendations of the staff of the emergency response department of the Karasay region. Following the simplest fire safety rules can save your life and prevent a fire.

It is extremely risky to leave heating stoves unattended, as well as to entrust supervision over them to young children; place fuel, other combustible substances and materials on the pre-furnace sheet; to heat with coal, coke and gas stoves that are not designed for these types of fuel. You should not forget also some rules of operation of household electrical appliances and installations.

It is dangerous to operate wires and cables with insulation damaged or lost its protective properties; use damaged sockets, other wiring accessories; wrap light bulbs and lamps with paper, cloth and other combustible materials; use electric heaters without stands made of non-combustible materials; use non-standard electric heating devices, use uncalibrated fuse-links or other homemade overload and short circuit protection devices; leave electrical household appliances unattended.
