The country continues the Month of Fire Safety, which started on December 1. The main purpose of the event is to increase the level of safety of citizens.
Large-scale fire prevention raids have been organized in the regions as part of the Republican Fire Safety Month. During the yard rounds of the residential sector, explanatory work is carried out with residents. Special attention is paid to socially vulnerable segments of the population and pensioners.
So, the Emergency Department of the Zhetisu region, within the framework of the Month, conducts a set of preventive measures aimed at ensuring safety during the heating period and the upcoming holidays. Mobile groups of emergency personnel, police, local executive bodies and other structures have been created. These groups conduct raids in places where pyrotechnics are stored and sold, as well as check New Year's sites for compliance with safety requirements. Special attention is paid to working with the population. Tens of thousands of rounds of private houses have been carried out, during which the rules of operation of heating systems, electric heaters and safety measures for children are explained.
