With the aim of preventing fires and fatalities, as part of the republican campaign "Safety in Every Home!", employees of the Lepel District Department for Emergency Situations organised an information and educational platform – the "Safety Post" – in food stores in the agro-town of Stai and the town of Lepel.

Here, rescuers conducted explanatory work with each shopper, teaching them how to prevent fires in their homes and protect their health, life, and property from fire.

During the preventive talks, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations informed shoppers about fires that had occurred in the district, explained their causes, and demonstrated autonomous fire alarms, which annually justify their purpose by saving dozens of lives.

Particular attention during the safety discussions was paid to the rules for operating stoves, domestic boilers, electric heaters, and all household electrical appliances.

Representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations also reminded attendees of the potential consequences of the "cigarette + alcohol" combination and explained how to prevent fire-hazardous situations when smoking.

Along with their groceries, people took home useful safety knowledge. They were presented with thematic leaflets containing important life safety recommendations as a reminder.
