According to the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, every year there are more than 6 thousand housing files. The main causes are electrical malfunctions and smoking.

About 700 people die each year in the US, in the country, due to fires.

According to the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, each year produces more than 6 thousands of incidents of this kind.

The most common causes are faulty or chimney uncleaned, electrical heating, improvised, smoking and open fire-specifies spokesman General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, Daniela Silvi.

"We have to get away from the habit to improvise, or to use electrical apparatus with failure. This mentality produces every year destruction of over a thousand homes.

"Smoking is another danger for our homes. Here we talk of negligence and inattention: we do not smoke in bed, when we are tired or not consume alcohol in excess; do not let children matches, lighters and educate them about it. A single spark can ignite a home, "said Daniela Silvi .

Every Tuesday, the Inspectorate for Emergency Situations organized Prevention Information Day in order to inform the population about such events.

Children in schools and kindergartens have chatted with firefighters and have received information about the equipment and equipment of the machines.
