The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan is conducting fire prevention work on an ongoing basis. This work is carried out throughout the year, and during the heating season, the vector of this work is directed to the housing sector. More than 100 thousand houses of socially vulnerable groups of the population, which are inspected for fire safety before the start of the heating season and are re-examined during regular yard inspections, are under special control. The identified non-compliance with fire safety requirements is necessarily communicated to the population. The main violations identified during the inspection are violations of the rules for the installation and operation of furnace equipment and electrical networks and devices: cracks in furnaces and chimneys, lack of a metal layer in front of the furnace, lack of fire barriers from combustible structures, overloading of electrical networks, damage to the insulation of electrical wires, etc. Eliminating these violations often does not require large expenditures. In cooperation with local executive bodies and volunteers, more than 32 thousand odorous gas, natural gas and smoke detectors have been installed in the homes of socially vulnerable groups of the population (since June 2024). Despite the measures taken everywhere, 760 fires were registered in the country in January, 580 of which were due to violations of requirements during the installation and operation of stoves and electrical systems. The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds that everyone can make their home safer! To do this, you need to follow simple safety rules:- use only working stoves and electrical appliances;- prevent stoves from overheating and overloading electrical networks;- clean the chimney from soot in a timely manner;- regularly check the stove and electrical appliances for malfunctions;- do not let children light the stove;- keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

Entrepreneurs and agricultural producers must clearly understand that the process of acquiring land plots is regulated by a specific procedure. We cannot give land without a specific purpose, for this there are competitions and auctions. "District akims should conduct explanatory work on this issue in local areas, that is, residents should be informed about where and what competitions are held, as well as how land plots are allocated. For us, it is important, first of all, to focus on the efficient use of land for growing vegetables, fodder and providing pasture for livestock. In addition, it is necessary to continue work on restoring the land and returning it to the state reserve. There is land, but our task is to use it for its intended purpose, observing all the established norms and procedures," the akim noted during the meeting.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/936098
