When preparing food in an oven, as well as when using gas and electric appliances, strictly follow their operating rules.

Do not forget about the danger of lit candles; they should be kept away from clothing and flammable materials. Also, do not leave lit candles unattended.

On Easter Day, a large number of people gather in churches. In places of Easter services, Ministry of Emergency Situations personnel will be on duty to ensure fire safety. However, every parishioner should also remember:

·          when lighting candles from candle holders, tuck in long sleeves of clothing;

·          hold a piece of paper or a handkerchief under the candle so that hot wax does not get on your skin, and you do not instinctively jerk your hand and drop the burning candle on your clothes;

·          tie headscarves securely and tuck away hair, reducing the risk of them catching fire from a candle when you bow your head;

·          supervise children;

·          try to maintain a safe distance from other parishioners so that the flame from a neighboring candle does not reach you;

·          in case of clothing catching fire, quickly take it off, try to extinguish it with a fire extinguisher or cover it with a dense material;

·          study the layout of the church building to know the evacuation routes, of which there must be several, and all exit doors must be open;

·          in case of a fire alarm and fire notification, do not panic, leave the hall quickly, but without causing panic or a stampede.

In case of fire, call 101 or 112 immediately. Have a safe holiday!
