Due to the rise in temperature in the republic, the risk of fires occurring and spreading in forests and grasslands has increased:
In order to prevent fires in forested and vegetated areas, it is prohibited to:
burn bonfires in unauthorized places. In cases of extreme necessity, this can be done in open areas, surrounding the bonfire with a mineralized strip of no less than 5 meters, and finally extinguishing it with water or covering it with soil.
leave bottles, pieces of glass in open areas, as they can focus sunlight and become igniting lenses.
throw burning matches, unextinguished cigarette remnants, smoke, and use open flames near fuel-filled containers or vehicles.
burn dry grass, perform pig burning, leave (spill) rags soaked in oil, gasoline, kerosene, and other flammable liquids, etc.:
“Dear citizens, please observe fire safety rules, be mindful of the biodiversity of the environment, and in case of noticing a fire or smoke, call 112”:
