Fire hazard

Fire hazard refers to the risk of fires that can cause harm to people, their property, and the environment. This risk increases during extended periods of dry and hot weather when grass, trees, and other vegetation become highly flammable. Fires can start due to careless handling of fire, unattended campfires, arson, or technical causes.

The highest risk of fires is in forests, fields, and steppes, where flames can quickly spread over large areas. In the Mykolaiv region, even the destruction of small areas of natural ecosystems can negatively affect local flora and fauna.

During periods of increased fire hazard, it is crucial to follow the recommendations of emergency services:

• Avoid lighting campfires in forests and open areas.
• Do not leave glass bottles or other objects that could cause ignition.
• If you spot a fire, immediately call 101.

Timely actions and caution can help prevent catastrophic consequences and preserve the natural resources of the region.
