Grass fire

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

Autumn fires, as the 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 die. The smoke released during the burning of dry grass and garbage is very 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" rises and spreads for many kilometers as a result.
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 blazing grass, and people suffer burns and sometimes even die. It is worth recalling the spring of 2019, when 6 people died in the country as a result of burning dry vegetation.
All cases are trivial and similar to each other. Due to their carelessness, people, lighting a fire, think that they can cope with the fire on their own. It is not uncommon for a small fire, which the owner, as it seemed to him, lit at a safe distance from the house, to grow to such a size by the wind 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 responsibility.
Illegal burning of dry vegetation, grass on the root, as well as stubble and post-harvest residues in the fields, or failure to take measures to eliminate fires on land plots – entails a fine of ten to thirty basic units.

It is also worth mentioning those who need help in tidying up the adjacent territory and conducting the legal "Safe Old Age" – these are elderly relatives!

Take care of the safety of your elderly relatives!
Dear citizens!
Observe fire safety rules. Remember that a discarded burning match, an unextinguished fire, a left glass bottle are enough for a fire to occur. Do not allow children to play with matches, do not commit arson of dry vegetation.
If you discover a fire, you must 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, think that by your actions you are causing irreparable damage to nature.
Let's save the home we live in together!
