Poplar fluff

The Kurchum district emergency department warns that with the onset of the flowering period of poplars, the fire hazard rises sharply. Streets, squares and houses are covered with poplar fluff, through windows and doors penetrate into apartments and houses. It is worth bringing a match - and the fluff flashes like gunpowder.

A common cause of fires from poplar fluff is children's prank with fire, so as often as possible you need to remind children that poplar fluff is not an object of fun, there is danger in it. Fire can run through the fluff a lot of distance and, having found some quickly combustible material, make a fire.

We advise parents to take care of their children's leisure time in advance, explain the dangers of playing with fire, and not allow playing with matches. Only constant attention from parents and adults can become a reliable guarantee of preventing fires from childish pranks with fire.
