From May 15 to August 31, the republican information and propaganda campaign "Safe Holidays" will be held in all regions of the country.
The campaign has become traditional and is conducted to draw public attention to the problem of children's mischief with fire, to prevent fires and child fatalities from them, to reduce the number of emergencies involving children, and to ensure their overall safety both at home and outdoors.For reference: In 2025, four children died in fires in the country. Due to children's mischief with fire, 23 fires occurred. Tragic incidents also occurred on water bodies: 12 children drowned this year.
The campaign will start with large-scale events dedicated to Family Day and the International Children's Day: in open areas of amusement and recreation parks, culture houses, shopping and entertainment centers, etc. – wherever parents with children most often visit – employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations will conduct bright and interesting activities. Interactive sessions, quizzes and active contests, demonstrations of emergency rescue equipment and machinery, demonstration performances by MES units, distribution of educational visual materials, concert programs, creative performances – this is not an exhaustive list of what rescuers have prepared for children and their parents.
In the following days, MES employees, along with activists of the Belarusian Youth Public Association of Rescuers-Firefighters and representatives of the Belarusian Voluntary Society for the Rescue of Persons on Water (OSVOD), will visit school-based and suburban health resorts, and preschool institutions. They will remind children of important safety rules to be observed at home and outdoors, and explain how not to become victims of seasonal dangers and how to act in case of trouble.
Dear parents, do not forget that you must take care of your children's safety: create safe living conditions, never leave children unattended even for a short time, discuss dangerous situations and their consequences with your children. The YouTube channel "MES for Children" can help you with this. Be an example for your child and follow safety rules.
Join the MES events and together we will make children's summer safe!
