Republican campaign "Safety in Every Home!"

With the aim of preventing fires and deaths from them, from January 24 to February 11, the republican campaign "Safety - in Every Home!" will be held in Lepel district.

The main causes of emergencies in the residential sector remain careless handling of fire, violation of the rules for operating heating stoves and electrical equipment, as well as children's pranks with fire. In most cases, fire incidents are the result of carelessness and disregard for safety rules.

The main objective of the campaign is to draw citizens' attention to the problem of fires and deaths from them, as well as to conduct mass explanatory work among the population on the prevention of emergencies. The campaign events will be held in five stages.

The first stage of the campaign will be held from January 24 to 28, where employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations will pay special attention to preventive work with persons abusing alcohol and leading an antisocial lifestyle.

Participants of the second stage of the campaign, which will be held from January 31 to February 9, will include visitors to day care departments at territorial social service centers for the population, as well as students of educational institutions of the graduating classes of the city and district. During the events, forms of work such as discussions and game programs, contests, quizzes, and demonstration of educational films will be used.

The final event of the campaign will take place from February 10 to 11 at the "Univermag" store in Lepel, where rescuers will set up educational platforms to once again remind the residents of the Lepel region of safety rules, and will also hold thematic quizzes, contests, lotteries, etc.

Activists of the Belarusian Youth Public Association for Rescue and Self-Help (BMОOSP), members of young rescuer-firefighter clubs, students, and employees of other interested organizations will join the emergency service workers in conducting the campaign.

During the events, the main focus will be on the prevention and warning of fires in the housing stock. Rescuers will provide information on the fire situation and fatalities, explain the main causes of fires, and clarify the rules and requirements for personal safety. Special attention will be paid to the rules for operating stove heating and electrical equipment, the inadmissibility of leaving children unattended, the installation of fire detection and alarm devices in households, knowledge of the use of primary fire extinguishing means, and actions in case of a fire.

We invite everyone who cares about their own safety to take part in the campaign!
