Security in every home!!!
Dear residents of the Karatal district, the Department for Emergency Situations of the Karatal district informs you that since August 15, the bypass of the private residential sector of socially vulnerable segments of the population (disabled, pensioners, large families, low-income) has begun on the territory of the republic Also, from September 15 of this year, the month of fire safety starts, the bypass of private residential buildings will begin, there are 10631 private and apartment buildings in the district, of which 717 houses of socially vulnerable segments of the population. For the current period of 2022, 21 fires were registered in the district, most of which occurred on the territory of residential buildings.
The detour will be carried out by civil protection officers jointly with local executive bodies, police department officers and volunteers. During this event, memos on fire safety measures and offer spines will be distributed to the population. The law does not provide for control over the residential sector. Because according to the Constitution, housing is inviolable. In addition, the security of their possession and property, first of all, is entrusted to the tenant himself. Explanatory work will be carried out, with recommendations handed over. If the owner lets you into the house, then fire safety measures will be explained directly at the furnace or electrical wiring.
The main purpose of the bypass is to increase the safety culture of the population, so that the head of the family pays attention to the state of fire safety of his home, so that the population realizes that this is their safety. At the same time, I want the information to reach everyone, the memos will be handed over for signature. The memo contains the basic rules of fire safety in an individual residential building. There is a category of the population that does not let home. Then the fire safety rules are explained on the street and a memo is handed over, but in this case the employee does not see whether the owner has violations in the house or not. Also, in the absence of a tenant's house, a memo is left in the mailbox. But at the same time, addresses where no one was at home are taken under control and the data of the house will be re-passed. Any citizen has the right to receive advice from the emergency authorities.
Basic fire safety measures in a private residential building: Fire safety rules prescribe that it is not allowed to clutter the yard. The ash from the furnace must be taken to a certain place, preferably 15 meters from the buildings. Put a metal container to accumulate in it, since sometimes the ash is carried out with burning embers, which in the wind can become a source of fire.
If the residents allow you to go home, an emergency worker will check the wiring. Because often the owners do not conduct an audit of the electrical facilities. All cables laid 10 years ago wear out, the insulation layer is broken.
Further recommendations on heating furnaces will be given. Before the start of the heating season, it is necessary to clean the chimney, repair the stove, that is, replace the stove if it has any cracks. It is necessary to cover up all the cracks and holes. There must be a 50x70 cm pre-heating sheet in front of the oven. If a coal falls out of the furnace, then only on a metal sheet and a fire will not occur. In places where the pipe passes into the ceiling, there should be a non-combustible material - fire forks. If this is not the case, it is this place that can become a source of fire if the furnace is re-heated. The stove can not be placed close to the wall, if the house is built of combustible materials, this is called a fire escape.
The oven must not be overheated. In warm weather, the owner heats two buckets of coal, relatively speaking, and this is enough to create a comfortable temperature. But when the temperature starts to drop sharply, then two buckets are no longer enough. The owner begins to overheat the oven. If there are violations, and the oven gets very hot, then a fire will definitely occur in this house. It is also recommended to finish the furnace furnace an hour and a half before going to bed. Because we have a secondary factor - carbon monoxide. If there is no traction at night for some reason, then this gas will penetrate into the dwelling and people may suffer.
An important factor in the safe operation of furnace heating is the correct device of the heating furnace. It must have a fire-fighting cutting (deviation) from combustible structures established by the norms.
The OCHS of the Karatal district reminds of the need to comply with fire safety rules – remember, your life, the life of your loved ones and the safety of property depend on it.
If a fire is detected, immediately call 101.
