The firmest ice is         clear with blue or green tint without air blebs. It is also important to know that under snow ice thickens slower. In addition, snow hides cracks and scours under itself.

Headquarters of EMERCOM of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan Warn:

· do not leave children unattended, teach them basic rules of fire safety;

· never use faulty electrical wiring, do not overload the grid, use caution when using electric heaters;

· do not leave powered on electrical and gas devices unattended.

Remember! A fire does not occur by itself.  Its cause is the human negligence and carelessness use of fire. A drunk person loses control of oneself and one’s actions, and all the more cannot bear any responsibility for another person's life.
