High Fire Danger Alert in Occupied Crimea from September 29 to October 2

In the three main regions of the temporarily occupied Crimea – the western, central, and eastern districts – a high fire hazard is expected from September 29 to October 2. This information was released by the occupying Ministry of Emergency Situations of Crimea.

The Russia-controlled agency urges residents to follow fire safety rules: do not burn dry grass and rubbish, do not leave unextinguished cigarette butts, and remember that violations of the special fire restrictions carry administrative liability.

We remind you that the emergency fire danger regime has been in effect on the peninsula since May 1.

Local services have also appealed to residents to be careful and strictly observe the established restrictions during heightened fire danger.

Advice and actions during heightened fire danger

During periods of increasing risk, it is important to keep areas free of open fires, avoid burning trash and dry grass, and keep any flames under control on private plots. In case of a fire, promptly report to the appropriate services and do not endanger yourself.

Violations of fire safety rules may result in administrative fines and other penalties in accordance with applicable laws.

Everyone should stay vigilant and follow precautionary measures, as strict adherence to the rules helps prevent large-scale fires and save lives and property.
