Active work continues on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan within the framework of the month of safety in housing.
Preventive raids, rounds of residential buildings and apartments, conversations with homeowners and distribution of fire safety memos – all these activities are currently carried out by emergency workers on a daily basis. The task is not to formally hand over memos and leaflets, but to make people aware of vital and necessary security measures in everyday life.
Firefighters organize joint raids with local police officers, with RVFS specialists, and with social protection workers. Special attention is paid to places where large families, elderly and single citizens, and disabled people live. Homeowners are reminded of security measures, the need to monitor the state of the electrical system in the house, monitor heating devices, and do not leave young children unattended. In addition, residents are actively encouraged to install Autonomous fire detectors in their homes – inexpensive devices that allow them to detect a fire that has started in a timely manner. According to statistics, since 2016, in 49 cases of fires that occurred on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, thanks to the operation of fire detectors, the lives of 103 people, including 43 children, were saved.
During the next preventive RAID, employees of the social service Center "Rehet" of the Zelenodolsk municipal district appealed to the employees of the 8th fire and rescue squad with a request to install fire detectors for their wards living in houses with stove heating. They responded the request immediately and went to the towns Nowopolski and Krasnitsky. This is where several families live whose homes do not have gas supply, and the owners are heated using a conventional wood-burning stove. As a rule, these houses are quite old, wooden. Their residents themselves understand the risk of fire in their homes, and therefore the installation of sensors is taken very seriously.
