Headquarters of EMERCOM of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan Warn:
Keep the rules of safe behavior on the water:

- do not jump into the water at unfamiliar places;
- do not leave children on the shore without adult supervision;
- do not allow children to go without permission to the water and swim.
In case of fire and other emergencies immediately call 01, or 112.
Headquarters of EMERCOM of Russia for the Republic of Tatarstan addresses to its residents with a request on not leaving children unattended:
- It is especially dangerous to leave children alone locked in apartments and rooms. In case of fire they cannot quit burning room themselves.
- Remember that every adult is responsible to halt playing with fire and to explain children that it is dangerous.
- Take care of your children’s safety, explain them that they must quit room immediately during a fire, and then call single number of emergency services 112.
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.
