Hotline of power engineering specialists:
IDGC of Centre - Kostromaenergo division is preparing for the fire-dangerous period of 2018. The energy company is implementing a set of measures to increase the level of fire protection and ensure trouble-free operation of power grid facilities, reducing the risk of fires at power equipment.
To protect energy facilities from accidental fire, Kostromaenergo’s experts extend and clear ROWs of overhead power lines from tree and shrub vegetation and fire line plowing around the perimeter of substations to the width necessary to protect them from grass and root fires. Fire line plowing is performed around the perimeter of 0.4-6/10 kV transformer substations located on sites at risk of fires. In addition, dry grass and combustible materials are cleaned out there.
Kostromaenergo’s power engineers draw the attention of residents of the Kostroma region to the need to comply with fire safety measures in everyday life, on personal garden plots, and also in places of active rest. It should be remembered that a poorly extinguished fire or a thrown cigarette can cause large-scale fires and emergencies.
In case of detection of fires near power facilities, it is necessary to immediately report this to the emergency telephone at 112, as well as to the direct round-the-clock line of power engineers of IDGC of Centre at 8 800 50 50 115.
