Familiarise yourself with the following rules and share them with your loved ones and friends:
- Remember: lighting fires and using special devices for cooking are prohibited on balconies, loggias, terraces, roofs, and stylobates, unless their placement is provided for by the design documentation, under canopies and in gazebos;
- Special devices for cooking and fires should be used under the condition of continuous monitoring of the burning and smouldering process;
- Do not use flammable and combustible liquids (except for liquids specifically designed for lighting) to ignite fires and coals;
- The burning and smouldering process should be carried out in such a way that flames and sparks do not fall on building elements or structures. The distance from special cooking devices to protruding parts of buildings and structures should not be less than 2 metres (and less than 8 metres from fire sites);
- Do not leave children unsupervised near the barbecue, and keep young children away from open flames;
- Use special coals: sparks from other materials blown by the wind can "fly" over long distances;
- Upon completion of the burning process, extinguish any remaining burning (smouldering) materials completely.
cessation of smouldering.
Have a good and safe weekend!
