Over 144,000 family capital deposits opened in Belarus
From March 17 to April 4, the "For Safety Together!" campaign will be held in the city of Vitebsk, aimed at preventing fires and deaths from them in the housing stock.
The purpose of this campaign is to reduce the number of fires caused by citizens' non-compliance with fire safety rules in residential buildings and structures, settlements and territories, including rural areas. Participants of the campaign will visit the homes of lonely and singly living elderly citizens and disabled people, families in which children are in a socially dangerous situation, and will provide explanations and recommendations to homeowners on improving the fire safety of their homes. Joint raids, information exchange, and meetings with work collectives and the public are planned during the campaign. In addition, anyone can contact the city department for emergency situations to conduct an inspection of the fire safety status of their property.
The Vitebsk City Department for Emergency Situations reminds that, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Belarus, the responsibility for compliance with fire safety requirements in residential buildings owned by citizens is imposed on their owners. Check the operability of autonomous fire detectors, and if they are absent, install them in the living quarters of the property. Pay attention to the proper functioning of heating equipment and electrical wiring. Do not leave children unattended and do not allow children to play with fire. Observe fire safety rules when lighting fires and do not leave them unattended. Do not throw unextinguished matches and cigarette butts into dry grass and do not allow the burning of dry vegetation. Remember: careless handling of fire leads to the death of people and the destruction of property.
Traditionally, other prevention entities will also take part in the campaign. As is known, the effectiveness of any activity lies in common interest and interaction. So let's all do our best for our safety together!
