How to secure a summer cottage from fire during the summer season

      Summer is the time for dacha relaxation, but it is during this period that gardening associations (SNT) find themselves at risk. Dry grass, heat, wind, faulty wiring, or a carelessly discarded cigarette butt — just one spark is enough for a fire to spread from one plot to another.

      Why dacha areas are especially vulnerable:

      - houses are located close to each other;

      - there is a lot of dry vegetation;

      - not everywhere are there fire hydrants;

      - the fire department may be far away.

      What to do to ensure the safety of yourself and your neighbors:

      - Clean up your plot. Regularly mow the grass, remove dry branches and debris. Create a firebreak around buildings that is at least 1-2 meters wide.

      - Follow fire safety rules. Use barbecues and bonfires only at a safe distance from buildings. Always keep water or sand nearby. Do not throw away cigarette butts — this is one of the most common causes of fires. Burning waste during the fire hazard period is prohibited.

      - Check the electrical wiring. Ensure that the wiring in the house and on the plot is in good condition. Do not overload the network, turn off appliances when leaving the house.

      - Keep water handy. Barrels, buckets, hoses — this can save the situation if a fire is just starting.

      - Stay connected. Write down the emergency service numbers — 101 or 112. Keep an eye on announcements from the management, and arrange mutual assistance with neighbors.

      If a fire does occur:

      - do not panic;

      - call 101 or 112, clearly state the address;

      - in case of a small fire, extinguish it with improvised means;

      - if your life is in danger — immediately leave the danger zone.

      Safety in gardening associations is a shared responsibility. Follow the rules and take care of yourself and your loved ones!
