Prevention of fire in the country in winter

Before the "conservation" garden in winter, the majority of owners, first of all, give preference to activities for the protection of their property: preventing the penetration of strangers in the house, preventing plundering. The second - Protection against frost of cultivated plants and trees. The issue of fire safety, as a rule, or is not considered, or it is paid attention as a residual. And it is in vain.

Russian Emergency Situations Ministry General Directorate of the Pskov region. warning that negligence in the prevention of fires in the autumn-winter period can lead to tragic consequences. Experts have developed a number of recommendations to minimize the likelihood of a fire in a private house. And if you have a fire occurred - reduce the impact of out-of-control fire.

In the first place - matching the design and construction of a house fire safety requirements. Using serviceable heating gas and electrical equipment, prevent the exploitation of improvised and makeshift instruments.

Communications - focus

Do not overload the wiring, especially if you do not know in what state it is. All wiring must be laid in Stroebe or corresponding channels, according to the operating rules.

Many owners will wear gas cylinders in the house that they are not stolen. This can be done only in one case - if they are empty. The explosion even partially filled gas cylinder very likely destroy not only your home, but also the structure of the neighbors. In extreme cases, they get down to the basement, tighten the valves and check for leaks.

Unplug all engineering and other supply lines. And this applies to all valves. Gas not only to disable or boiler plate, but also directly from the outside. The same goes for water. After the transfer of valves in the "off" position is required to open the valve and drain the remaining water, then close the valves.

Do not leave in rosettes no electronics or heating devices. Building materials are also desirable to use before the cold weather, but the greatest value to take out in advance. Before leaving, energize house - voltage drops one of the common causes of spontaneous combustion. Turn off the switch and fuses galetnyj switch (if any).

Dangerous goods - at a safe distance

Wood, gasoline, solvent, and others. flammable materials are removed from the premises. Do not forget about cleaning - leaves, twigs and other debris can easily catch fire from a thrown cigarette butt or sparks tunes. Within a radius of 5-7 m should not be anything that could contribute to the spread of fire.

Dry grass, leaves and organic waste is used as compost should be kept in strictly designated place and be covered. Keep water near - standard barrel with rainwater can do a good job, setting fire in the bud.

Remember, 'prevention is always cheaper than treatment. " Do not skimp on their safety.
