IT'S DRY SEASON AGAIN, BE CAREFUL!🧏

DON'T BE CARELESS



During the dry season, the risk of fire outbreaks increases due to dry vegetation, low humidity, and strong winds. 


HERE ARE SOME BASIC MEASURES TO AVOID FIRE OUTBREAKS:


1. FIRE PREVENTION MEASURES AT HOME 


✍️Avoid open flames: Do not burn trash, dry leaves, or vegetation outdoors during the dry season.


✍️Proper storage of flammable materials: Keep flammable liquids like petrol, kerosene, or alcohol in tightly sealed containers away from heat sources.


✍️Inspect electrical appliances and wiring: Fix faulty or exposed wiring promptly, as they can easily ignite during the dry season.


✍️If possible Install smoke detectors: Ensure smoke detectors are functional and test them regularly.



2. YARD AND OUTDOOR MAINTENANCE 


✍️Clear dry vegetation: Regularly remove dry leaves, grass, and debris from your yard to reduce fuel for fires.


✍️Create a firebreak: If you live in an area prone to wildfires, create a gap (firebreak) between your home and flammable vegetation.


✍️Avoid outdoor fires: Refrain from lighting campfires or using outdoor grills in windy conditions.



3. COMMUNITY PRACTICE:


✍️Avoid indiscriminate bush burning: Discourage or report anyone starting fires in forests, farmlands, or open areas.


✍️Educate others: Spread awareness about fire safety during the dry season in your community.


✍️Participate in fire drills: Learn fire evacuation procedures and practice fire drills if organized.



4. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 


✍️Keep firefighting tools ready: 


👉 Have fire extinguishers, 


👉Buckets of sand


👉And water in easily accessible locations.


Nobody is praying for any form of fire outbreak.


However we need to do our bit to protect our environment lives and properties.


The effect of fire outbreak can be devastating, so we need to the needful.
