During the Easter holiday, do not forget the safety rules!
When preparing food and using gas and electric appliances, strictly adhere to the rules of their operation.
Do not forget about the danger of lit candles; they should be kept away from clothing and flammable materials. Also, do not leave lit candles unattended.
On the day of the Easter celebration, a large number of people gather in churches. There will be a duty of Ministry of Emergency Situations staff at the locations of Easter services to ensure fire safety. However, every parishioner should also remember:
• when lighting candles from candle holders, long sleeves of clothing should be rolled up;
• hold a piece of paper or a handkerchief under the candle to prevent hot wax from dripping onto your skin, and to avoid instinctively jerking your hand and dropping the burning candle onto your clothing;
• tie back scarves securely and tuck away hair to reduce the risk of candle flames catching on them when bending your head;
• keep an eye on children;
• try to maintain a safe distance from other parishioners so that the flame from a neighboring candle does not reach you;
• in case of clothing catching fire, quickly remove it, try to extinguish the flames with a fire extinguisher or cover it with a thick material;
• familiarize yourself with the layout of the church building to know the evacuation routes, which should be multiple, and ensure that all exit doors are open;
• in case of fire alarm activation and notification of a fire, do not panic, leave the hall quickly but without creating panic or a stampede.
In case of fire, immediately call 101 or 112.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones! Wishing you safe holidays!
