Fire safety trainingsafetyPlace the tree (whether it is real or artificial) at least one meter away from the radiator and three meters away from the fireplace, so that even a random spark cannot get to it. The distance from the New Year's beauty to curtains, drapes, and walls should also be at least one meter.The best synthetic trees are now made from polymers with the addition of so-called fire retardants - substances that prevent combustion. Such trees do not burn, and in the worst case, only smolder. An ordinary firecracker can burn an eye!If you bought pyrotechnics in advance, store them somewhere dry, but away from the radiator or stove. Wrap them in a bag and take them out, for example, to the balcony. But do not move firecrackers and fireworks back and forth from the cold to the warm. They can get damp and at the right moment shoot off with a delay, at an unexpected moment for you. Keep in mind that even firecrackers and sparklers that are approved for indoor use (and of high quality, not counterfeit) can be dangerous.
Make sure your child has fun with the firecrackersonly in your presence and direct them at the ceiling, and not at yourself or the curtain, for example. The confetti that flies apart when the cracker goes off is harmless if you are at least a meter away from where the cracker explodes. If closer - along with the confetti, burnt particles of gunpowder can hit you. They will not harm your hand or foot, but they can injure your eye. Children who are curious by nature often tear apart crackers to get a toy out of them. This should never be done - the cracker will shoot the child in the face! Last year, 30 Moscow teenagers were hospitalized with a burn of the cornea of the right eye for this reason. Bengal lights can be no less dangerous if handled improperly. Even after burning out, the magnesium compound that covers the stick retains a very high temperature. It can not only damage, but also ignite furniture. And even more so - paper napkins. The correct action is to put the used sparkler in a glass or plate with water. Buy only domestic pyrotechnics (not Chinese) and follow the instructions for use. Already this year, an adult man managed to lose his fingers, and an 11-year-old child - his eyes. Advice from the Ministry of Emergency Situations
If you decide to have a children's party at home, then:
- In the room with a Christmas tree you need to remove all carpets and carpet tracks.
- The tree must be very stable.
- It is desirable to conduct all activities during the daytime.
When using electric lightingnetworks without a step-down transformer, garlands can only be used on the tree with sequential connection of bulbs with a voltage of up to 12 V; the power of the bulbs should not exceed 25 W. The electrical network for lighting the tree must be connected to the general electrical network through factory-made fuses. Do not decorate the tree with celluloid toys, as well as gauze and cotton wool that are not impregnated with fire retardants. Below you will find photos of types
