• under no circumstances should candles or lighted candles be left unattended, and candles must be extinguished during sleep;

• do not leave lit candles or other sources of fire within the reach of children; it is necessary to pay more attention to the elderly and other vulnerable categories on how to use lighted candles or candles to avoid situations in which life or property may be endangered.

In order to avoid incidents during religious services, the fire department advises priests and parishioners to take the following measures:

• candles or candles should not be placed near clothing or other fabrics to prevent clothing or hair from igniting;

On the preventive line, firefighters will conduct verification measures in places of worship, where a large influx of participants is expected, as well as in buildings intended for housing people on the territory of monasteries.
