For some reason, in Russia more often there are fires in private homes?

According to the Emergencies Ministry, 35% of fires in private homes occur due to careless handling of fire. This includes the burning of grass and debris, and make fires in dry weather and the abandoned cigarette butts, and children playing with matches. At the second location - the faulty stoves and fireplaces. On the third - faulty electrical appliances and improper handling.

In our region, is now burning forest. Why forest fires are so dangerous?

Wildfire often takes the form of horse: the wind drives the fire on the crowns at high speed, especially in the coniferous woods and forms a "fire tornadoes" when fire from a neighboring fire zones tightened everything that is not nailed. Sparks and embers fly hundreds of meters. Another threat - a strong thermal radiation, which can ignite dry wooden house a few dozen meters from the fire.

Wood burning is far from my house, but I want to somehow reduce the risks. My house is close to the edge, what can I do?

The first thing to do - to create the maximum gap between the fire and its neighboring houses and woods. This band must be completely empty. You need to remove anything that can catch fire: landfills, trees, mow dry grass. If there there is technique to steal it, to disassemble and carry structures like gazebos. Band sure plow - should have an empty space where there is nothing to burn.

Regulatory fire away from the forest to the individual building homes must be at least 30 meters.

The recommended width of firebreaks around any house - 1.5 meters. The strip must be continuous.

You also need to increase the fire breaks between the buildings on the site. Experts strongly recommend to disassemble and remove all non-permanent structures that can burn (greenhouses, woodsheds, Chicken coops, auxiliary haystack and m. P.). Ideally, there should be only houses and stone buildings, which do not burn. The remaining exposed wooden structure necessarily apply fire-retardant paint.

 I can not do all of this on a number of important and objective reasons, and we do not sell in the village fire-retardant paint. What do i do?

Silverfish or color "metallic silver" next to a forest and aimed in the direction of the forest wooden structures. These colors reflect heat and reduce the radiant energy, although they will not be able to protect as fire-retardant coating. The wooden parts of buildings takes time to pour water from time to time. It is also recommended to establish maximum amounts of water to extinguish the fire, fill it all, from the pool to the buckets. In horticultural associations must be fire ponds. If not, perhaps it's time to dig them and fill with water. Nice to also buy a chipped engine-driven pump: if the village live friendly and more or less well-off people, so they usually do.

I felt the smoke and saw the flames. What should be my actions during a fire?

Call the fire, turn off the gas, disconnect the house, close the windows to block the air flow. Try to organize fire fighting improvised ways: extinguisher, sand, water. If you can not extinguish the fire, leave the building quickly, if necessary, to close the smoke with a damp towel and soaking clothes. Often people in a state of shock carried out of the fire the least valuable things. The first thing to take the money and documents.

What to do after a fire?

If it is obvious that the house can not be saved, firefighters recommend to focus on nearby objects by spraying with water. In rural areas, fire truck arrives to the fire place in the middle of half an hour, it is necessary to do everything possible to fire did not spread beyond this time the entire village.

Can I count on help from the state, if my house burns down? What laws govern it?

State or local authorities do not help all fire victims: only in exceptional cases and only to certain categories of citizens. Count on state aid (financial compensation or provision of property) after a fire can:

• those whose house caught fire due to the fact that employees of state or municipal authorities improperly perform their duties;
• those whose house caught fire due to the raging elements;

• those who are in the fire completely lost money and documents, and has no way to buy a new home.

But even here there are a number of conditions: for example, burned housing must be the only cause of the fire could be arson, and asked for assistance must be poor at the time of treatment.

Who can count on compensation, and who for housing?

In 2009, the Constitutional Court of Russia to equate the rights of owners and those who own housing on social conditions of employment: both those, and others can rely on the provision of financial compensation or housing. But, again, in practice, to obtain such help manage units.

If the property was not insured and did not consist in the balance of the municipality, the chances of getting compensation are minimal.

However, Part 2 of Article 57 Housing Code imposes on municipalities the obligation to provide housing for victims of the fire. From the victims will require:

•  conclusion of the interdepartmental commission on the unsuitability of housing;
•  evidence that the cause of the fire was an accident;
•  evidence that the dwelling was the only one;
  evidence that the fire victims will not be able to buy a place to live.

What documents need to gather to still receive compensation or housing?

If the owner expects to compensation (its size can not exceed 120 thousand rubles), it should start to collect documents as soon as possible. You will need:

• fire act. His issue with the territorial emergency department. It indicates a fire cause and consequences of the fire.
• Conclusion on housing unfitness. It is made in the local administration. To get a conclusion, you need to write an application and it referred to the Government Decree Number 47 from 28.01.2006 of the year and it is accompanied by a copy of the fire and the title document to the house.
• Information about salary, proof of income and the availability of the property. Information about the composition of the family. Copy of passport with a note of registration in the burnt house.
• The conclusion of the investigating authorities, Prosecution or court with respect to the causes of fire and the existence of the perpetrators;
• refusal Resolution to institute criminal proceedings;
• building data sheet and a certificate from the BTI the absence of the other housing;
• reference about setting the house on cadastral registration;
• Bank details.

Etand the documents attached to the application for compensation or provision of housing.

How long will have to wait for the provision of housing?

In practice, the wait can last for years: in the reserve fund of the village can not be free housing, and then put the fire victims in the preferential queue. Try to protect their rights can be in the prosecutor's office.

In general, the state is obliged to restore property lost by citizens due to natural disasters?

No, not an obligation. Most correct tactic for homeowners: take care of their own property, insure it and get a refund from the insurance company.

We, too, have been through the fire. The only thing that saves in such cases - property insurance. This should be done as soon as the raised house.

I have a wooden dacha building with stove heating. Whether there are insurance companies willing to insure it?
