Fire Safety Precautions Addressed
The Fire Department issued important reminders regarding the precautions that need to be taken against potential fires. In their statement, they emphasized that smoking materials should not be discarded in the environment and that barbecue charcoal should not be thrown away until it is completely extinguished.
Additionally, it was highlighted that work areas must be clear of flammable materials and dry grass when performing tasks such as welding, grinding, and using oxygen torches. The presence of fire extinguishers and other necessary equipment is also crucial.
Caution Around Electrical Installations
The dangers posed by electrical transformers, poles, and potential issues with these installations were also brought to attention. Citizens are urged to report to the 188 Electrical Fault Line about tree branches that may come into contact with electrical wires and the risks they pose. Moreover, it was stressed that dry grass should also be cleared for the maintenance of electrical lines.
Warnings were issued regarding the use of electrical devices. Particularly, the importance of not plugging multiple high-current consuming devices into an outlet splitter was noted, as this increases fire risk. Instead, such devices should be directly plugged into the wall socket to avoid the risk of short circuits and fires.
It was also emphasized that maintenance of motor vehicles should not be neglected. Regular checks are necessary to prevent fuel leaks, short circuits, or fires due to exhaust. Cleaning hood filters every two months can significantly reduce fire risks.
Finally, it was stated that signs of smoke or fire should be reported immediately to the 199 Fire Alert Line, 177 Forest Fire Alert Line, or 155 Police Emergency Line. Quick interventions in such situations play a critical role in preventing the spread of fires.
