Forest is one of the most valuable natural resources. These are the lungs of our planet; it supplies about 60% of oxygen to the earth's atmosphere. The forest has its worst enemy - fire. And everything that was created by nature or planted by man for many years can perish from fire within a few hours. 90% of fires are caused by humans. While in the forest, enjoying its beauty, breathing in its healing air, protect the forest from fire.
When visiting the forest, strictly follow the fire safety rules:
1.Do not light fires in dry and windy weather,
2.do not leave them untouched,
3.do not smoke on the go,
4. do not throw burning matches and cigarette butts;
5. Do not litter resting areas with paper, jars, glassware and other waste.
Be aware that even a shard of glass that can focus a sunbeam can cause wildfires. Having detected a fire, take action; the timeliness of reporting the fire and the start of extinguishing depends on what damage will be caused by the fire and how quickly it will be extinguished. Be sure to report the location of the fire to the forest guard or fire service. You can put out a small local fire with a bunch of hardwood branches. Always remember that any fire is much easier to prevent than to extinguish.
