PROTECT THE FOREST FROM FIRE!

The safety of our country's forests largely depends on how carefully we all treat them. Forest fires, garbage dumps in forests, illegal and ruinous logging for forests, illegal buildings in forests are all a consequence of a person's careless attitude to the forest. In order to preserve forests for yourself and for future generations, you need to follow a few simple rules.

Being in the forest, it is necessary to observe the rules of behavior and handling of fire:

- Be extremely careful with the fire in the forest.

- Avoid making fires and smoking in forests with a strong ground cover of mosses and lichens and near them, on or near peat bogs, in dry, hot or windy weather.

- Do not leave a burning or smoldering fire unattended, before leaving the fire pit, make sure that the ashes and coals have completely cooled down.

- If you find that the forest floor has started to burn or smolder from an abandoned cigarette butt, match or fire, carefully extinguish it, fill it with water or cover it with moist earth.

The cause of more than 90% of forest and peat fires is the careless handling of people with fire. In some cases, wildfires are the result of deliberate arson, man-made accident or catastrophe.
