FIRE SAFETY IN CHILDREN'S CAMPS

As you know, with the onset of summer holidays, the number of accidents with the death of children increases. To prevent the danger, the staff of the OCHS of the Karasai district, together with the heads of children's camps, with the participation of media representatives, conducted propaganda and preventive measures on the following topics as part of the TV program "Saving Life": "Fire safety in children's camps", "Basic actions in case of fire", "Water safety" and others.

During this period, sleepless times are coming for the organizers and managers of health camps, a huge burden of responsibility is placed on their shoulders, including responsibility for ensuring compliance with fire safety requirements on the territory, in buildings and premises of the camp.

The head of the institution, the person who replaces him, as well as the service personnel, when a fire is detected, the following rules must be followed:

- immediately give an alarm signal to the administration and maintenance personnel;

             • take measures to evacuate children, young children are evacuated first;
             • send the evacuated children to a safe place determined by the evacuation plan;
             • simultaneously with the evacuation of children, start extinguishing the fire with                       their own forces and means;
             • organize a meeting of fire service units and assist in choosing the shortest path to                 the entrance to the fire;
             • clearly inform the head of the arrived unit (guard) about whether all children were                   evacuated from a burning or smoke-filled building, and in which rooms people remained.

It is strictly forbidden to try to extinguish the fire only on their own, without calling the fire service.

The safety of children also depends on their knowledge of elementary fire safety rules, which they can learn not only from teachers, educators and fire inspectors. And also, from parents who need to have additional conversations about the dangers of playing with matches, pyrotechnic products, about the inadmissibility of leaving unattended electrical appliances plugged into the outlet and actions in case of fire.
