Fire detection systems automated and activated in Yakutsk city center
In the heart of Yakutsk, the city that endures the harsh Siberian cold, a significant step towards fire safety has been taken. On August 13, the Oschepkov family, a large family with 7 children and a widow of a participant in the SVO, received an installation of an Autonomous Smoke Fire Alarm System (ASFAS) in their home, located in the Gagarin District.
The installation was carried out by contractors of the Municipal Department "Civil Defense, Emergency Situations, and Fire Safety Management". This installation marks the beginning of the ASFAS for Large Families program in the district.
Alena Oschepkova, the mother of the family, is an activist of the Gagarin District. She expressed her gratitude towards the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the city of Yakutsk, and the district administration for supporting large families and this particular program.
ASFAS is a device that can react to smoke at an early stage of a fire and timely warn residents of a fire threat with a sound signal. The loudness and frequency of the alarm can even wake a sound sleeper. Periodically cleaning the camera with an optical-electronic sensor of an ASFAS with a vacuum cleaner is required.
The family learned about the program from the Telegram channel of the Gagarin District. ASFAS can be purchased from various locations in Yakutsk. "Magazin 01" business center, located at 20, Ordzhonikidze Street, office 103, 1st floor, sells ASFAS with a contact phone: 8(4112) 32-56-66. The All-Russian Volunteer Fire Society (VDPO) branch at 24/2 Yaroslavsky Street sells ASFAS with a contact phone number: 8(4112) 43-55-92.
