"House without Fire" is the name of a special preventive event to be held by the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the Rossony district from July 21 to 26.

Its goal is to reduce the risks of fires in housing and deaths from them, and to improve the life safety culture among the population.

In the Rossony district, 10 fires occurred in the first part of 2026, and two people died in the flames.

The tragedies that claimed the lives of two men occurred on February 12 in the village of Kulnevo and on February 17 in the village of Velikoye Boloto. The men became victims of their own carelessness – negligence while smoking. They were presumably intoxicated.

Since 2023, 48 fires have occurred in the Rossony district, with 7 people killed. The majority of fires, namely 38 cases, and 6 deaths occurred in rural areas and were recorded in the Klyastitskoye, Krasnopolskoye, Sokolishenskoye, and Yankovichskoye rural Soviets. 10 fires and one death occurred in the urban settlement of Rossony. Therefore, the special preventive event will be held in the settlements of Klyastitskoye, Krasnopolskoye, Yankovichskoye rural executive committees and in the urban settlement itself.

Since the beginning of the year, the Vitebsk region has recorded an increase in fires by forty cases (509 in 2025, 549 in 2026). 54 people died in fires – this is 13 cases (+31.7%) more than in 2025.

Households of categorized citizens will be visited: single and lonely elderly people, disabled people and large families, families where children are in a socially dangerous situation, as well as households of citizens leading an antisocial lifestyle.

Among the main tasks of the special preventive event, rescuers highlight: informing the population about the state of fire safety, explaining to citizens the consequences of non-compliance with fire safety rules, and studying the state of fire safety of housing facilities.
