Poplar fluff is a real scourge of settlements.

During the flowering of poplars, "summer snow" is packed near residential buildings, outbuildings, parking lots. Burns quickly with the release of a significant amount of heat. It is capable of setting fire to a house or cottage around the perimeter within one minute. The source of ignition can be an unopened cigarette butt or a match, fire work or a child's prank. For children, setting fire to poplar fluff is a favorite pastime, after which it is often necessary to call firefighters.

You should be afraid of fluff even if you live on the ninth floor. After all, with a strong wind, the fluff reaches the height of the twelfth floor, getting into all sorts of cracks. It must be remembered that a spark is enough - and the fluff will turn into a "bickford cord", along which the fire will safely reach the buildings. Many citizens hope that after heavy rains there will be less fluff. In fact, the rain only nails the fluff to the ground. Having warmed up in the sun, the "summer snow" spreads very quickly and returns its fire-hazardous properties. Sometimes firefighters go to such fires 10-15 times a day.

The accumulation of poplar fluff is an increased danger in individual garages, where its removal is especially difficult, and spilled and not cleaned in a timely manner, combustible materials contribute to the accumulation of poplar fluff and the spread of fire in case of fire.

To prevent fires, residents and organizations of the city are recommended to organize daily cleaning, cleaning and watering of courtyards, sidewalks, roads and places where this natural material accumulates. To stop any games of teenagers and children associated with setting fire to fluff. By the efforts of residents on hot days to organize duty in residential courtyards in order to prevent fires. Tell the children (or even show them by collecting a bunch of fluff on a spot spilled with water) that poplar (dandelion, alder) fluff is the same gunpowder.

Not only firefighters have to fight poplar fluff, but also janitors. As practice shows, cleaning fluff is not an easy task. In order for the cleaning to be effective, the fluff must be moistened with water, and then, when it becomes heavy, swept.

Compliance with these simple rules allows you to prevent a fire, which is always easier to prevent than to extinguish.

In case of fire, call the phone number "101", "112".
