So that the holiday is not overshadowed.

                There are only a few days left until the New Year. In every family, the holiday will not do without the installation of a Christmas tree, colorfully decorated, with a lot of pyrotechnics and garlands. It is worth noting that not all of them are high-quality and safe.
                In order not to cause trouble, so as not to spoil the holiday with the occurrence of a fire, and sometimes with a tragic outcome, we must not forget about the elementary rules when arranging New Year's events.
Some citizens, ignoring the rules of fire safety, cover the base and branches of the          Christmas tree with cotton wool and gauze. The slightest mistake with an open fire, a small spark from a firecracker or a sparkler is enough, as cotton wool or paper can instantly flare up.
                  There are also such cases that homemade garlands on Christmas trees are also used, and when leaving home they do not turn off from the power grid.
I would also like to remind you that a child's prank at the Christmas tree can lead to serious consequences, not only in the house, but also on the street. At the meeting of the new year at midnight, the sky will light up with a huge number of fireworks, fireworks, firecracker shots. You need to use them carefully, because in addition to fires, they lead to injuries and children can suffer the most from them. It is also forbidden to launch fireworks from windows, balconies and near houses, as this can lead to fireworks entering residential premises through windows and vents, property or flammable substances left on balconies catching fire.
                The Department of Emergency Situations of the Almaty region reminds parents and organizers of celebrations of simple elementary rules of fire safety:
The hall where the New Year's matinee is held must have at least two evacuation exits, corridors, passages and exits (evacuation routes) must be free. It is forbidden to close the doors with locks or locks that are difficult to open. The windows of the premises should not have bars, should not be cluttered with furniture and other objects. For the duration of the events, the mandatory duty of the volunteer fire brigade should be established, and the premises are provided with primary fire extinguishing means (fire extinguishers). The Christmas tree should be installed on a stable foundation, so that it is not difficult to leave the hall.
                During the celebration, it is forbidden: to light all kinds of fireworks, sparklers, stearin candles in the room, use firecrackers, completely extinguish the light in the room. To light the Christmas tree, it is necessary to use factory garlands, which are very beautiful and elegantly decorate the Christmas tree, and most importantly they are safe.
Be extremely careful that the New Year's holiday does not turn into trouble.
The Department of Emergency Situations of Almaty region wishes you a Happy New Year! Wishes prosperity, happiness, and a "smokeless" sky!
