Rescuers will see the fisherman from afar.

Life is the most precious gift a person has. However, in an age of high technology, it still remains too fragile. Unfortunately, the statistics of the Ministry of Emergency Situations are daily updated with new cases of people dying from merciless elements.

To prevent accidents on the water, preventive raids are carried out in the Postavy district by rescuers from the Postavy District Department for Emergency Situations, OSVOD, and employees of the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels.

Today's prevention target is fishing enthusiasts and boaters. Among owners of small vessels, stories of people falling overboard are not uncommon; fortunately, most of them are humorous and end well thanks to compliance with rescuers' requirements. However, what can carelessness on the water lead to if these requirements are not met? Let's imagine the scene: a missing life jacket, first aid kit, anchor, and fire extinguisher, combined with alcohol intoxication, scorching sun, and a malfunction of the boat engine's fuel system, and also an intensifying wind carrying the vessel further and further from the shore, and then the restless water surface will certainly make itself felt. A person who has lost vigilance finds himself in a trap he set for himself.

As one of the fishermen shared his opinion on this matter:

- Even if we didn't catch anything big today, I rested both body and soul. I like to celebrate a trip to nature with a friend culturally, but strictly in moderation, especially after the recent tragedy on Lake Mozheyskoe, it's even scary to go out on the water in a boat, not to mention swimming...
