With the aim of enhancing public safety, intensifying fire prevention efforts, analysing their effectiveness, and assessing the readiness of territories for the autumn-winter fire hazard period, the nationwide campaign "For Safety Together" is being held in Lepel District from October 16 to November 14.
The objective is to reduce the number of fires caused by citizens' non-compliance with fire safety regulations in residential buildings and structures, to increase public awareness of the capabilities of state organisations in providing services to ensure their safety, to strengthen law and order, and to prevent offences committed by citizens under the influence of alcohol. During this period, residential premises of lonely, elderly citizens, disabled individuals, large families, and dysfunctional families will be visited by personnel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES), inspection commissions, district police inspectors, employees of territorial social service centres, and volunteer fire brigades. Control will be maintained over the rectification of identified fire safety violations. In order to eliminate conditions conducive to fires and mitigate the severity of their consequences, in conjunction with housing and maintenance services and other organisations servicing the housing stock, the fire safety status of attics and basements in apartment buildings will be inspected.
Training on the fundamentals of life safety and measures to prevent fires and emergencies will also be organised for social workers, ambulance service personnel, public utility workers, and other specialists to conduct preventive work with lonely elderly citizens and disabled individuals.
