Fire is merciless. Protect children!
Child safety is not just a desire, but a duty for us adults. When raising children with the best human qualities, instilling useful knowledge and skills, it is important to remember that teaching life safety skills is as essential as, for example, teaching a child to hold a spoon or read. A trained child will subsequently avoid emergency situations themselves and will also be able to help those in distress.
A teenager born in 2009 in the Myadel district can be an example for their peers and a source of pride for their parents. On April 28, 2021, a one-story residential house caught fire in the village of Sidorovichi. The young man managed to save his younger brother, born in 2019, from the fire, receiving burns of varying severity and cuts to his hands and face himself. The teenager is in critical condition in the hospital.
Not all stories, unfortunately, end well. This year, 4 children have died in fires across the country, while last year no child fatalities were recorded for the same period.

Keep matches and other ignition sources away from children's eyes. Do not allow children to use gas and electrical appliances on their own, and do not leave heating stoves unattended by children. Be an example for your children in everything, including the unconditional observance of safety rules.
