Fire Safety Guidelines
To prevent fires, adhere to the following safety rules:
- do not burn dry grass or leaves on private plots, as this can lead to uncontrolled fires;
- do not light open flames near dry vegetation and outbuildings;
- do not discard cigarette butts and matches on dry ground;
- avoid visiting forests entirely, as there is a risk of encountering explosive objects contaminating large areas of Ukraine.
If you spot a fire, immediately call the Rescue Service at number 101.
Experts also emphasize that in hot and windy weather, even a single spark can lead to a massive ecological disaster.
