The Ministry of Internal Affairs urges citizens to observe safety measures when operating heating appliances.
— Dear citizens! Since the beginning of the heating season, tragic events have occurred in our country related to the improper operation of furnace heating and electric heaters.
In Kostanay region, five children were killed in one case, and four people, three of whom were children, in the other. Three people were killed in the Akmola region, two of them minors. Four children died in Astana.
In this regard, we urge all citizens to comply with security measures.
Check the condition of the stove heating. If you find any damage or malfunction, take measures to fix it immediately.
Do not leave young children alone at home. Remember that children cannot always correctly assess the danger and are not able to cope with the problems that arise.
Do not leave the electric heaters running unattended. Even leaving electrical equipment unattended for a short time can cause a fire.
We ask you to take a responsible approach to the use of heating appliances and ensuring safety in your home. Take care of yourself and your loved ones! — the chief inspector for special assignments of the Administrative Police Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Aktoty Boranova addressed.
