In the context of falling temperatures, firefighters remind the population of the main measures to prevent fires in the cold season: not to overload the electrical networks by using several high-power consumers at the same time, not to place combustible materials near heat sources and not to use improvised or defective electrical devices, without complying with safety regulations.
