In order to prevent fires in residential buildings, inspection commissions continue to carry out preventive work in the Lepel district. Another raid to explain fire safety requirements to citizens took place in the territory of the Kamensky rural council.

In the private sector, the risk of fires is higher compared to apartment buildings. Violations of safety rules when heating a bathhouse or stove, malfunctions of gas and electrical equipment can destroy a dwelling in a matter of minutes, leading to significant material losses. Socially vulnerable categories of the population are under the close attention of the inspection commission members – such as citizens living alone, single parents, disabled people, large families, citizens abusing alcohol and leading an antisocial lifestyle.

In general, when visiting households, the commission paid close attention to the condition of heating equipment, the presence and operability of autonomous fire alarms, the condition of electrical wiring, and the general order in the dwelling and on the adjacent territory.

The shortcomings, and there were few of them, identified during the raid are correctable and will be eliminated by the homeowners in the shortest possible time. Those who can be helped will be assisted by the territorial center for social services for the population. It is important that careless owners develop not a sense of security, but full responsibility for their home, and along with it, for their lives.

Rescuers strongly urge residents of the town and district to take the necessary measures to bring their households into a fire-safe condition. Be careful when handling fire, do not smoke in residential areas, observe safety rules when operating heating and electrical equipment, and do not leave children unattended.
