An unextinguished campfire or cigarette in the forest can cost people their belongings, homes, and most importantly, their lives

or you

how to prevent fire?

pick up your trash
make campfires only in a special place and if permitted
choke a fire before leaving
Throw burning matches only into the fire
Thoroughly extinguish cigarettes after smoking
Do not burn grass, leaves, fluff for fun
Do not pour or leave flammable liquids and other substances

to prevent a fire from spreading deep into the forest or towards villages, Special firefighting and prevention work must be done

The forest becomes inhumid if you clear it of deadwood, remove undergrowth, lay 2-3 mineralized strips with a distance of 50-60 m between them
