So, due to the cold snap it is predicted occurrence of domestic fires throughout the region, and as a result of the active use of stoves and household electrical appliances – carbon monoxide poisoning. “Chimneys should be cleaned at least once every 3 months. In winter, at least once a month, it is necessary to inspect the heads of chimneys to prevent them from freezing and blocking, – recalled the representative of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. — Do not trust children to look after the stove and try to stop heating 3 hours before bedtime. Remember that any stove must have an independent foundation and not adjoin the entire plane of one of the walls to wooden structures; you need to leave an air gap between them – a retreat. On a wooden floor, it is necessary to nail a metal sheet measuring at least 50 by 70 cm.”

In areas covered with snow, the ice is thin and weak,” warned Roman Vetchinnikov.
