Don't set a fire when you're out in the country!

Specialists of the emergency management Department of the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk remind you of the safety rules in a fire-dangerous period: Most often, the cause of a natural fire is not extinguished fires, abandoned cigarette butts and matches. Dry, Sunny and hot weather only contributes to the spread of fire. In a fire-dangerous period in the forest and in nature, it is better not to light a fire at all without the need. It is especially dangerous to do this in windy weather, under the canopy of the forest, in dense thickets. You should build a fire in specially equipped places or where there are old fires. You can do this on sandbanks. If there are no such places, then you need to properly prepare the future fire pit-dig it with a shovel or other improvised means. It is necessary to refrain from using flammable substances and materials, such as liquids for lighting, which are sold in stores. They can be very dangerous for you. You need to watch the fire or barbecue – one breath of wind can cause the spread of fire. Children should not be left unattended. They can get lost in the forest, run to a nearby reservoir, fall, get hurt or hit, and worst of all-climb into the fire or to the Mangala. There are many cases when a child gets burned at a picnic due to the inattention of parents. It is necessary to explain to children for their own safety that you can not throw foreign objects into the fire. This is especially true for aerosol cans. They tend to explode when heated. When you leave the place of rest, be sure to put out the fire with water, sand or other improvised means and clean up all the garbage and make sure that you do not leave bottles or glass fragments in the grass. They can serve as a kind of lens and cause dry grass to ignite. In no case should you leave rags or rags soaked in gasoline or oil in nature. All recorded fires in dachas, according to the Department of emergency situations of the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk are associated with the human factor. In order to avoid fires it is necessary to remember following rules: Never leave a cigarette unlit, and never throw matches or cigarette butts in dry grass, rags, or on a wooden floor. Never burn last year's grass and garbage directly on the dacha plot. Burn garbage in a metal barrel, in a safe place and under constant supervision. Do not burn garbage in windy weather. The place where the barbecue is prepared (stationary or portable grill, barbecue), was far from the buildings and there was nothing nearby that could catch fire. Do not light the grill under the trees and on the ground covered with dry needles and leaves. Immediately close and set aside the liquid for lighting coals. What to do in case of a fire in nature If you find a fire, immediately report it to the fire service. Remember two numbers to call in the event of a natural fire: 101 and 112. If the fire you have detected has not yet gained strength, take measures to extinguish it with water, earth, or sand. The most effective way to extinguish a fire is to throw earth over the edge of the fire. When extinguishing a fire, do not stray far from roads and glades, and keep in touch with other participants of fire extinguishing using visual and audio signals. If the fire is too strong and you can't stop it, leave the scene immediately. In a low-level fire, you need to move perpendicular to the direction of the fire, along glades, roads, riverbanks or clearings. When riding a fire, move around the clearing, crouching to the ground and covering the respiratory tract with a damp cloth. If you can't get out of the danger zone, try to find a reservoir in the forest and enter it. If your clothes catch fire, do not run! This makes the flame burn much faster. Try to remove the clothes that caught fire. If you can't do this, lie down on the ground and roll around to put out the fire.
