Each of us knows that the forest is the best place for a good rest.
However, according to statistics, more than 95% of all annual forest fires occur precisely because of human actions. No hike, no trip to the forest is complete without a bonfire.
In order to avoid accidental fire in the forest, safety measures should be observed:
1. Do not build bonfires in a fire-hazardous period;
2. Do not burn garbage in the forest and do not leave it, especially cleaning material soaked in oil, gasoline or other combustible materials;
3. Do not throw burning matches and un-extinguished cigarette butts on the ground.
If there is a vital need to make a fire, then the following rules should be followed.
At the place where the fire will be built, you should remove the top layer of turf, you also need to remove dry grass, foliage and branches. As a result, the bonfire should be located in the center of a cleared circular area with a diameter of at least two meters. Observing the rules of fire safety in the forest, you should choose a place for a fire so that there would be no trees, roots or stumps closer than 4 meters from it. And over the fire itself, in no case should there be overhanging branches.
Persons guilty of violating fire safety rules, depending on the nature of the violation and their consequences, bear disciplinary, administrative or criminal responsibility.
