Training for firefightersSecurity Install a Christmas tree (it is not important, live or artificial) at a distance of at least a meter from the battery and three meters from the fireplace, so that even an accidental spark can not get to it. At least a meter should be the distance from New Year's beauty to curtains, curtains, walls. The best synthetic Christmas trees are now made of polymers with the addition of so-called flame retardants - substances that prevent fire. Such trees do not burn, and in the worst case only smolder. If you bought pyrotechnics in advance, store it somewhere in a dry place, but away from the battery or stove. Wrap it in a bag and take it out, for example, to the balcony. But do not shift the firecrackers and fireworks back and forth from the cold to the heat. They can damp and at the right time to shoot with a delay, at an unexpected moment for you. Keep in mind that even firecrackers and Bengal lights that are acceptable for use in the room (and quite qualitative, and not counterfeit) can be dangerous. 
Keep a child with crackers entertainedonly in your presence and directed them to the ceiling, and not to yourself or the curtain, for example. Confetti, which flies when the trigger is triggered, is harmless, if you are at a distance of at least a meter from the place where the firecracker exploded. If closer - together with confetti in you can get burned particles of gunpowder. Hand or foot, they do not hurt, but the eye can be traumatized. Curious kiddies often tear a cracker to get a toy out of it. Do it in any case impossible - the cracker shoots the child in the face! Last year, for this reason, 30 metropolitan adolescents were hospitalized with a corneal burn of the right eye. The Bengal lights may prove equally dangerous when inadvertently used. Even burnt out, the magnesium compound, which is covered with a stick, keeps a very high temperature. It can not only damage, but also ignite the furniture. And even more so - paper napkins. Correct action - to lower the used Bengal fire into a glass or a plate of water. Buy only domestic pyrotechnics (not Chinese) and follow the instructions for use. Already this year, an adult man managed to lose fingers, and an 11-year-old child - eyes. Tips 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 an electric lightingnetworks without a step-down transformer on the Christmas tree garlands can be used only with consecutive inclusion of light bulbs with voltage up to 12 V; the power of the bulbs should not exceed 25 W. The electricity supply for lighting the tree should be connected to the common electrical network through factory fuses. Do not decorate the tree with celluloid toys, as well as gauze and cotton wool not impregnated with flame retardants.
