Housing safety is in your hands!

The Arshansk District Department for Emergency Situations reminds citizens living in private houses, apartments, and dormitories that following basic fire safety rules is the key to the safety of your life and property. Fire statistics show that the majority of tragedies occur in the residential sector, and the reason for this is the carelessness of the people themselves.

Special attention should be paid to common areas and living rooms in dormitories, where high occupancy density requires responsible behavior from each resident. It is strongly recommended to install an autonomous fire alarm in every apartment and living room. This small device can loudly alert you to a fire starting at an early stage, giving you valuable minutes to escape. It is important not only to install the alarm but also to keep it in working order: clean it from dust in a timely manner and change the power supply elements.

Statistics show that most fires occur due to human negligence. Never leave cooking food on the stove unattended. If you need to step away even for a short time, turn off the gas.

Smoking in bed poses a deadly danger, especially when under the influence of alcohol. A single cigarette can ignite bedding several hours after the smoker falls asleep. Remember: the cost of one puff can be excessively high.

It is strictly forbidden to leave young children unattended by adults. Keep matches and lighters in places inaccessible to them.

Monitor the condition of electrical wiring and appliances. Do not overload the network by plugging several powerful devices into one outlet at the same time.

Remember: the safety of your home depends only on you!
