Telephone 01 (mobile - 112) - the first and most important phone number, which shall know every man. On his knowledge of life depends, and not only of their own. But how often today this is the most important room becomes a tool for pampering. At a time when, perhaps, in the next house someone dies in a fire or somebody just need help.

Operational services are obliged to respond to any message. After all, no one can guarantee that it is false. Firefighters and rescuers not kidding human lives, they should completely eliminate the threat before can confidently say that people are not in danger.

Fake call specifies the specialists EMERCOM of excessive work and leads to senseless exploitation of fire and rescue equipment, material and financial resources wasted. But maybe this time for both people and machines will operate on a real incident. In addition false calls occupy the broadcast and do not allow to reach those who really need help.

Let's remind, on March, 4 at 15.05 on the phone Manager Service is operational support-01 the CMC of Russia's EMERCOM in the Republic of Tatarstan received a call from an unknown woman, who reported that in one of the kindergartens of the Soviet district of Kazan laid an explosive device.

At the scene were sent immediately to all emergency services of the city. Police and emergencies Ministry has conducted the evacuation of 75 people, who were at that time in the kindergarten building (60 children and 15 adults). Then dog expert with special trained dog conducted an inspection of all premises of children's institutions and the adjacent territory. No explosives were found.

In parallel, firemen and policemen were establishing the identity of the caller women. In a few minutes, I saw that on 01 phone with domestic non called previously convicted 31-year-old resident of one of the neighboring buildings on Victory Avenue. After her detention was found out, that in the time of the call she was drunk.

In recognition of the woman, her message she wanted to test the responsiveness of the special services. Moreover, the interest to the work of the police and firefighters she lost once hung up the phone. It did not care how soon arrived at the scene of the emergency service and what happened on the territory of children's institutions, but also that this same kindergarten and her 6 year old son and 5 year old daughter. Currently, in relation to previously convicted of the mother of three children, a criminal case under article 207 of the criminal code, which prescribes penalties of up to 3 years of imprisonment.

Interior Ministry of Tatarstan reminds punishment «jokers» unavoidable - at present the detection of false reports about the act of terrorism is close to 100%, due to the laborious and consistent work performed by the internal Affairs bodies. Investigated for criminal and financial responsibility. For example, in 2013 in the courts of Tatarstan were sent 18 criminal cases under article 207 of the criminal code, in 2014 - for 7.

Remember that making a false statement about terrorism - this is not a joke or a prank and not entertainment. It is a crime for which there comes the criminal liability. In addition, that the person receives the conviction, he shall compensate the material damage, disruption of work «mined» institutions, even if it was not the intention of the possible consequences.

But parents have to blush for the antics of my offspring in a period of tests, exams or in anticipation of the holidays when no patience to wait for the weekend. Sometimes fake call is a result of unorganized leisure activities. Baby cause fire engines just «nothing» and is very happy when his call arrives a few tank trucks with fighters.

Main Department of EMERCOM of Russia in Republic of Tatarstan speaks to parents asking to explain to their children about the dangers of such pranks. As practice shows, they are costly to each of the parties. Adults should also refrain from wanting so badly to make a joke. Indeed, in relation to adult citizens can be made more severe measures of administrative or criminal liability.

Thus, in accordance with article 19.13. The administrative code of deliberately false call of specialised services (fire, police, ambulance or other specialized services) shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount from one thousand to one thousand five hundred roubles. To administrative responsibility may be engaged only sane person, achieved by the time of committing administrative infringement sixteen years of age. But a false message of the attack involves criminal liability. Under article 87 of the criminal code of criminal responsibility of persons who have attained the age of 14.
