Fire-hazardous period.
Compliance with fire safety rules is the best prevention.
The onset of the spring-summer fire-dangerous period is always marked by a sharp increase in fires associated with the burning of dry vegetation. Careless, careless handling of fire when burning dry grass, garbage on the territory of dachas, houses often turns into trouble – this is almost 50% of all fires that occur annually for this reason.
Employees of the emergency department of the Almaty region remind that in order to avoid trouble, it is important to observe the rules of fire safety. Firefighters recommend clearing areas of dry grassy vegetation and shrubs. As a safety measure, firefighters are advised to have tanks with a supply of water on the site, and to equip the living quarters with fire extinguishers and autonomous smoke fire detectors. In addition, residents of garden associations should refrain from burning garbage and dry grass when cleaning their territory. All waste must be disposed of in specially designated places.
It is allowed to burn garbage only not during the fire-hazardous period, under vigilant control and in strictly designated places. In this case, the incineration must be carried out in a metal container, at a distance of 50 meters from the buildings. It is strictly forbidden to use fire-fighting distances between buildings, structures and structures for storing materials, equipment and containers, for parking vehicles and construction (installation) of buildings and structures, for making bonfires and burning waste.
The "private sector" requires special attention in the spring-summer fire-hazardous period. An emergency situation can arise due to any oversight. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks about the importance of observing fire safety rules. But elementary carelessness can lead not only to property damage, but also to tragedy. We regularly conduct preventive raids, the main purpose of which is to inform the residents of the Almaty region.
Specialists of the fire services of the district urge citizens to comply with the requirements of fire safety: do not build bonfires and do not arrange the burning of dry grass in the fields, homesteads and in the forest. In cases of fire detection, you should immediately call the following numbers: 101 or 112.
