What to do to prevent a forest fire?

To prevent fires, it is necessary to observe the rules of conduct in the forest.

When visiting forests, it is prohibited to:

- throw burning matches, cigarette butts, smoldering rags in the forest;

- make fires in dense thickets and young coniferous stands, under low-hanging tree crowns, near timber and peat storage, in close proximity to ripe agricultural crops;

- leave self-igniting materials in the forest: rags and scraps soaked in oil or gasoline, glass containers and dishes, which in sunny weather can focus sunlight and ignite dry vegetation;

- burn dry grass in forest clearings, gardens, fields, under trees;

- set fire to reeds;

- make fires using flammable liquids or in windy weather;

- leave a fire unattended or unextinguished after leaving the campsite.
