Shelling of the Energy System in Ukraine

The shelling of the energy system in Ukraine continues, posing a threat to the safety of the population. In this regard, it is important to follow fire safety rules, especially during planned and emergency power outages. In the absence of electricity, many people resort to using candles, which can lead to dangerous situations.

We urge all citizens to be careful and take necessary measures to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their property. It is important to be aware of the risks that arise when using open flames and to follow fire safety recommendations.

Fire Safety Recommendations

Constant shelling of energy infrastructure in Ukraine creates serious challenges for the safety of the population, particularly in terms of fire risks. The use of alternative lighting sources, such as candles, requires special attention from citizens, as non-compliance with fire safety rules can lead to tragic consequences. During such crisis situations, it is essential not only to adhere to personal safety measures but also to be informed about actions that can help avoid dangerous situations in the community.

  • Follow the rules for using candles.
  • Do not leave candles unattended.
  • Keep candles away from flammable materials.
