Every year, with the onset of autumn, we face the problem of autumn burning of dry vegetation and an increase in the number of fires resulting from burning waste on plots. As a result of such burning, not only roadsides, but sometimes entire settlements are enveloped in acrid smoke.

Autumn fires, as experience of recent years has shown, have become a powerful destructive factor for the environment. When dry grass is burned, the root system of plants is disturbed, the soil and vegetation become impoverished due to high temperatures, the fertile layer is destroyed, and beneficial shoots, insects, and animals perish. The smoke released during the burning of dry grass and garbage is highly toxic, harmful to human health, and causes irreparable damage to the environment. Such arsons are especially dangerous in areas contaminated with radionuclides, as radioactive "dirt" is stirred up and spreads for many kilometers.

Often, the fire spreads to forest areas and can reach threatening proportions, turning into peat and forest fires. Very often, residential buildings, outbuildings, barns with livestock catch fire from burning grass, and people suffer burns and sometimes even die.

All cases are trivial and similar to each other. Due to their carelessness, people lighting a bonfire think they can handle the fire themselves. It is not uncommon for a small bonfire, which the owner thought he had lit at a safe distance from the house, to be fanned by the wind to such a size that houses and residential buildings burn down.
Remember that burning dry vegetation, or failing to take measures to localize fires on land plots owned, used, or possessed, entails administrative liability.
Burning dry vegetation, grass on the root, as well as stubble and crop residues in fields, or failing to take measures to eliminate fires on land plots – entails a fine ranging from ten to thirty basic units.
    Dear citizens!
Observe fire safety rules. Remember that a discarded burning match, an unextinguished bonfire, or a left glass bottle is enough to cause a fire. Do not allow children to play with matches, do not set fire to dry vegetation.
If you discover a fire, you should report it to the Ministry of Emergency Situations duty service by calling "101". Take measures to extinguish it.
Before striking a match and setting fire to a bunch of dry grass and leaves, consider that your actions cause irreparable damage to nature.
Let's preserve the home we live in together!
