Dear residents and guests of the Koksu region! The Department for Emergency Situations of the Koksu region reminds you of the fire safety rules. Building codes and requirements for the design and operation of household heating appliances:
1. Before the start of the heating season, all stoves must be checked and, in case of malfunction, repaired. Operation of faulty stoves leads to fire. The laying of the stove, its repair must be carried out by a qualified stove-maker. Do not entrust this work to random people. It is dangerous to operate stoves with cracks, damaged masonry.

4. Near each stove, on the floor, a pre-furnace metal sheet measuring 70 by 50 centimeters should be nailed, with the wide side towards the stove. The pre-furnace sheet should not have burnouts and damage.
5. It is dangerous to store household items on the stove, dry firewood. The distance from the stove to household items and furniture should be at least 0.7 meters, and from the furnace hole - at least 1.25 meters.
