Let's make the fire hazard period safe

Spring has finally arrived, bringing many bright and sunny days ahead. With the onset of warm weather, rural residents and summer cottage owners tidy up their properties and land plots. Preparing for the new summer season after the winter "hibernation", enterprising homeowners eagerly begin to prepare their gardens and vegetable plots for the new struggle for harvest, often neglecting not only their own safety but also the safety of those around them.

Unfortunately, such "over-initiative" from citizens, combined with ignorance and sometimes a simple unwillingness to follow basic fire safety rules, yields its "fruits": according to official statistics, during this period, cases of fires caused by the burning of dry vegetation and waste significantly increase, resulting in the destruction of homes and other buildings, into which not only substantial financial resources have been invested but also years of hard work.

Considering the danger of fire and the possibility of its rapid spread over large distances in gusty winds, we once again remind you of the consequences of burning dry vegetation, burning waste, and lighting bonfires. In strong winds, flames can spread at a speed of up to 1 meter per second, threatening the destruction of homes and buildings, and potentially leading to loss of life. Experience from previous years shows that in most cases, elderly people are the ones who perish in fires, as they miscalculate their ability to control the fire while burning waste on their plots. In just a minute, what appears to be a controllable fire can turn into a blaze in which you may suffer serious harm.

Dear citizens! We remind you once again: burning dry vegetation, post-harvest residues, and grass at the roots is strictly prohibited. Warn your neighbors and relatives against using fire to get rid of last year's grass and waste.

Furthermore, it is important to know and remember that violation of this prohibition entails administrative liability.
