Protect your home from fire!

Careless handling of fire is the most common cause of fire outbreaks. Carelessness in dealing with open flames, leaving children unattended, and having matches and lighters within easy reach, an unextinguished cigarette butt, carelessness in handling flammable or easily ignitable liquids, and negligent operation of stoves, gas, and electrical equipment will sooner or later lead to tragedy.

Fire statistics indicate that the most common cause of death in fires is carelessness while smoking. It is important to know that the hotspot created by an unextinguished cigarette can smolder for up to 4 hours. There is no actual fire in such cases, and a person suffers from poisoning by the products of smoldering and suffocates.

Fires are also not uncommon due to the "fault" of electrical appliances. It is essential to remember that electrical appliances should be factory-made, show no signs of damage, operate reliably, and be used according to their intended purpose. If the functionality of an electrical appliance raises concerns, it is better to refrain from using it and to send it for repair to the appropriate specialized organization.

Only the responsibility of the individual regarding fire safety can help prevent misfortune. Dear citizens, take care of yourselves and your loved ones!
