Fire-hazardous period !!!

A fire is an uncontrolled gorenje that causes material damage, harm to the life and health of citizens, the interests of society and the state. Steppe (field) fires occur in open areas in the presence of dry grass or ripe bread. They are seasonal in nature and are more common in summer as the herbs (loaves) ripen, less often in spring and are practically absent in winter. The most fire-dangerous situation develops in late spring and early summer, when the weather is dry and hot. The speed of their propagation can reach 20-30 km / h. The causes of fires in steppe and grain massifs can be thunderstorms, accidents of land and air transport, accidents of grain harvesting equipment, terrorist acts and careless handling of open fire.

Thus, analyzing 2021, 103 fires of steppe and forest areas occurred on the territory of the Pavlodar region, which is more by 10% compared to 2020, 93 fires

In the dry season and in the steppes, special care should be taken when handling fire:

• in the steppe, it is better to build a fire on areas of bare ground;
• the place intended for a fire should be cleaned of dry grass, leaves, branches and other forest debris;
• do not leave the fire unattended;
• do not leave the campsite without making sure that the fire is extinguished;
• if there are small pockets of fire, they must be extinguished immediately: fill with water, cover with sand, earth, cover with pieces of tarpaulin, covering the access of oxygen, trample and knock down with wet rags or bundles of branches;

During the fire-dangerous season, it is prohibited in the steppe:

* throw burning matches, cigarette butts and shake out hot ashes from smoking pipes;

* use wads made of flammable or smoldering materials when hunting;

* leave in the steppe (except for specially designated places) oiled or soaked in gasoline, kerosene and other combustible substances wiping material;

* refuel the tanks of running internal combustion engines, take out equipment with a faulty engine power system for work, as well as smoke or use an open fire near cars being refueled;

* leave behind bottles or glass fragments;

* burn grass, as well as stubble in the fields;
