Holidays of Ukraine - Fire Protection Day

Ukraine is known all over the world for its soil - the fields and forests in this country supply food to the inhabitants of not only Ukraine, but also its close and distant neighbors. In summer, the bright sun shines, which, in addition to joy, can also bring grief - it can ignite the dry leaves of the trees. However, the country’s fire service has to protect the country’s forests from fires and from the activities of careless barbecue lovers. In addition, the fire brigade helps control fires indoors and outdoors. We all have an idea about the profession of a firefighter - he is a fearless person who is ready to go to save others, and often simply other people’s property, risking his own life. Unfortunately, this is a rather dangerous profession. There are many cases where, during large fires, people who helped fight the fire were injured and sometimes died. Firefighter Day is celebrated in Ukraine on April 17th. On this day, they remember the heroes who laid down their lives in the fight against fire, share their work experience, and organize meetings of colleagues. All relatives and friends congratulate their heroes and organize home holidays for them in a narrow family circle. Remember, the telephone number of the fire department of Ukraine is 101. Anyone can use it if they see a fire and cannot prevent the fire on their own. The responsibilities of these people also include monitoring the fire safety of various objects. Thus, thanks to timely inspections, we can be sure that our children go to school or kindergarten where all fire safety conditions are met, or we use city transport that is safe for our own lives. The work of Ukrainian fire service employees helps protect the lives of the country, so let’s meet them - they, first of all, care about our safety. Refill fire extinguishers on time, make sure that there is always a supply of water or sand in the designated places, do not block the passages that are necessary for an emergency exit from the premises - and, probably, these simple rules will help save someone’s life.
