Kirov residents were reminded how to safely dry and disinfect a cellar.

      The agency notes that using open flames to dry a cellar can cause a fire, and marsh gas accumulated in the pit is deadly: just a few breaths can lead to loss of consciousness and death.

      To avoid a tragedy, the Ministry of Emergency Situations recommends ventilating the space before going down and not working there alone. Do not use matches or lighters for lighting; drying is better done with commercially manufactured electric or hot-air fans. Special sulfur fumigation tablets are suitable for disinfection, but they must be used strictly according to the instructions.

      The Ministry emphasizes that a cellar’s safety depends directly on the attentiveness and responsibility of its owner.
