For 7 months of 2022, 45 emergencies were registered in the city of Ridder

For 7 months of 2022, 45 emergencies were registered in the city of Ridder. And 100% of them are fires. Dry grass, garages, stored building materials, fences, outbuildings, cars, baths, apartments and private residential houses of citizens burned.  There were 5 cases of fires on the territory of the state forest fund.

If compared with the same period in 2021, this year the number of emergencies decreased by 23.7%. But these figures do not reduce the bitterness of losses from the fires that have occurred. In a matter of minutes, the property accumulated over the years burns down in the fire. Even harder is the fact that human life may be in danger. Over the current year, 3 people were injured in fires. Two of them died.

Often the cause of fires is neglect of fire safety rules and non-compliance with them. Smoking in bed while intoxicated is unacceptable.
Owners of housing and motor transport need to periodically check the condition of the electrical wiring.

The cause of fires in baths and private residential buildings may be a violation of fire safety requirements during the installation and operation of the furnace.

In August, firefighters also do not have to sit idle.
Late in the evening on August 7, the specialized fire department No. 1 of the city of Ridder received an alarm call about a fire in the village of Transversal. The fire brigade, who immediately went to the address, established that there was a fire in the summer kitchen on Tsentralnaya Street on a total area of 25 sq. m. When extinguishing the fire, a gas cylinder was found, which was safely removed from the fire zone. The circumstances of the fire will have to be clarified by the competent authorities.

To prevent trouble from coming to the house, always strictly observe the requirements of fire safety. Remember that the so-called "savings" on repairing electrical equipment or stoves, a forgotten unlit cigarette or switched on and left electrical appliances can cost lives. Take care of the safety of your children - provide them with leisure and do not leave them unattended.
