An independent guide to everyday fire safety. This is not a website of EMERCOM of Russia or the fire service, and it is not the former site on this domain. In a fire in Russia, call 101 or 112; elsewhere, call your local emergency number.

New publications

The guide's publication feed. Each entry marks a material prepared for the guide itself. We do not reprint news about fires, press releases or other people's statistics, and we do not publish equipment rankings. If a material is substantially updated — for example, because the Fire Safety Regulations or EMERCOM of Russia leaflets change — we add a new dated entry rather than quietly editing the old one. Each entry has a short description, a note on why the material may be useful to you, and topic tags. The tags make it easy to see whether a publication is about the home, the dacha, protective equipment or laws. The full list of materials by date and topic is in the guide archive.

The feed is short because every entry is a real article. We do not add incident news just to post more often.
