On April 9, 2025, Örken East Kazakhstan Regional Scientific and Methodological Center for Informatization and Education Development of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region, jointly with Anastasia V. Sklyar, a chief expert of State Fire Control Administration, conducted an important and informative lesson for schoolchildren. The topic of the lesson - “A fire dangerous season. Matches are not toys for children” - was chosen deliberately as the risk of fires increases during spring and summer, both at home and in nature.

The lesson aimed to increase students’ awareness of fire safety and foster a responsible attitude towards handling fire. Drawing on her extensive experience in state fire control, Anastasia Sklyar shared with the students how dangerous it is to play with matches and other sources of fire. She provided real-life examples from her practice, showing how even innocent mischief can spiral into tragedy.  

During the lesson, students learned about essential safety rules during the fire hazardous season, how to respond correctly in case of a fire and taught how to head off fire risks before they start. A particular emphasis was placed on the fact that matches and lighters are not toys, but items that require careful handling. The students were also informed about the importance of reporting adults about any suspicious situations related to fire.

To make it convenient for students, the lesson was uploaded to the official YouTube channel of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region. This allows students, their parents and teachers make it accessible at any time for revision or classroom use. The organizers hope that such events will help cultivate a culture of safety and responsibility among the younger generation.

This lesson marked an important step in fire prevention among the younger generation, combining the efforts of educational organizations and fire service specialists. Let every child remember that safety starts with us!
