Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations continue to actively work on teaching children the basics of safety in emergency situations.

  The goal of this work is not only to teach children to behave correctly in emergency situations, but also to instill a safety culture in children from an early age in order to prevent possible tragic situations in the future.

  In a kindergarten in Shymkent, young pupils met with real rescuers. This educational event allowed children to learn how to behave in emergency situations and avoid dangers in everyday life. Rescuers told children about the rules of conduct in emergency situations and explained how important it is not to panic, but to immediately call 101 or 112 and quickly leave a dangerous place.

  The practical part of the meeting included a “practice evacuation” of children from a building, during which the children were able to work out the algorithm of actions in case of a fire. The opportunity to try on the rescuers' uniforms and get acquainted with their equipment was a special joy.

  At the Pavlodar comprehensive school, the Emergency Situations Department employees conducted a training course on the basics of fire safety for students in grades 4-6. The children learned how to prevent fires and properly use primary fire extinguishing equipment, including a fire extinguisher. The rescuers showed special equipment and told about its use, which aroused the children's interest.

  Special attention was paid to the rules of conduct near water bodies and ice in winter. Experts explained the precautions that must be observed to avoid dangerous situations and explained in detail how to act in the event of an incident.

  Another fire safety corner was organized at the Karaganda comprehensive school and the Karaganda Higher Polytechnic College. Students were able to clearly see the consequences of the fire: burnt household appliances, damaged gas cylinders and burnt elements of electrical equipment taken from the places of real incidents.

  In addition, the EMERCOM employees demonstrated different types of fire extinguishers, explained their working principle and gave instructions on their proper use. An important part of the event was teaching the rules of first aid, which is especially relevant in emergency situations.

  Such meetings are very important, because at an early age children master the necessary knowledge and skills. Regular classes with EMERCOM employees help to form a conscious attitude of the younger generation to issues of personal and public safety.
