The Ministry of Emergency Situations' information and awareness campaign "Holidays without Smoke and Fire!" has been launched.

From June 3 to August 16, thematic events will be held in all districts of the Vitebsk region under the auspices of the Ministry of Emergency Situations' republican information and propaganda campaign "Holidays without Smoke and Fire!". Traditionally, the campaign begins with the summer holidays, and its main goals are to prevent child mortality and injuries, as well as fires caused by children's carelessness with fire.
It is no secret that during the summer holidays, children have a lot of free time, and they do not always know how to fill it. Parents, while at work, can only remotely control how their children spend their time. How can one organize their child's leisure time to be sure of their safety?! Rescuers will help answer this question, as they will conduct educational events throughout the summer months using various, maximally modern and engaging forms of work. After all, knowing what dangerous situations can arise makes it easier to avoid them. Rescuers will tell children about the dangers of uncontrolled water play, the hazards of sand quarries, and playing with fire. Parents will be reminded once again about the dangers of leaving young children unattended.
Traditionally, young rescuers, representatives of the Belarusian Voluntary Fire Society, the Belarusian Voluntary Society for the Rescue of Persons on Water (OSVOD), departments and institutions of education, culture, and others will assist the Ministry of Emergency Situations in ensuring safe children's recreation.
Such events are necessary not only to teach children safety rules but also to maximally involve parents in this work. After all, only the joint efforts of rescuers, educators, and parents will help children spend their holidays safely, filling their summer days with bright events in which
will be no room for emergencies.
