The Sector for Internal Affairs – Skopje to stop fires, under the purview of the SRS – Skopje, recently conducted comprehensive preventive activities aimed at mitigating fire risks within key local areas. Following directives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, police personnel from the Prevention Department carried out educational and safety campaigns in both the tourist center Kanjon Matka and the village of Gornja Matka. These proactive measures underscore the department’s commitment to public safety in the region.
During interactions with local residents, officers emphasized the critical importance of civic responsibility, specifically concerning the preservation and care of the dedicated firefighting fund. A primary focus of the outreach was educating the public about the legal ramifications of fire incidents. Citizens were explicitly informed that setting fires is classified as a criminal act and will be prosecuted under established law.
Furthermore, the police reiterated essential emergency protocols. Residents were instructed that in the event of discovering a fire, the immediate action required is to contact emergency services by calling 112. The initiative serves as a crucial public service announcement, reinforcing community vigilance.
By conducting these visible activities in popular spots around Skopje and its surrounding areas, the authorities aim to foster a culture of caution. The goal is to shift the focus from reactive response to proactive prevention, ensuring that the community plays an active role in fire safety measures. These ongoing efforts are designed to maximize public awareness and cooperation in safeguarding lives and property.
