In recent times, fires caused by dry grass have been increasingly reported in fields, forests, and mountainous areas across Kyrgyzstan.

Such fires pose a serious threat to the environment, livestock, property, and, most importantly, human life and health.

In many cases, fires are caused by human negligence, failure to follow fire safety rules, or careless handling of open flames.

For this reason, every resident should follow simple but essential fire safety precautions.

To help prevent fires, please observe the following rules:

✅ Do not light fires in open areas.
Avoid campfires, smoking, and any other activities involving open flames in fields, forests, or mountainous areas.

✅ Fully extinguish cigarette butts and matches.
Never throw unextinguished cigarettes or matches onto the ground. Make sure they are completely extinguished and dispose of them properly.

✅ Do not burn dry grass.
Burning dry grass, leaves, or other plant waste can quickly cause a fire to spread over a large area.

✅ Do not leave glass bottles or broken glass outdoors.
Glass can focus sunlight and potentially ignite dry vegetation.

✅ Supervise children carefully.
Teach children about fire safety and keep matches, lighters, and flammable materials out of their reach.

✅ Monitor vehicles and agricultural machinery.
Do not park vehicles or equipment on or near dry grass. Hot engine and exhaust system components may ignite dry vegetation.

✅ Do not spill fuel or other flammable substances outdoors.
During periods of high fire risk, use extreme caution when handling gasoline, fuel, and other highly flammable materials.

✅ In case of fire, immediately call 101 or 112.
Provide clear and accurate information about the location and nature of the fire.

Dear residents,
Fire safety is a shared responsibility. A single careless action can result in a large-scale fire, damage to nature and property, and a serious threat to human life.

Protect yourself, those around you, and the environment by following fire safety rules.
