Fire, especially in windy weather, can spread to settlements, causing huge material damage. And sometimes the cause of the fire is not a natural disaster, but human negligence, bordering on the crime.

If you are far-sighted and wear glasses with plus (collecting) lenses, try not to take them off in sunny weather, for example, to wipe the glasses. The sun's rays can accidentally focus on dry grass or birch bark, it will begin to smolder. If you do not notice this and do not quickly extinguish the hearth, a fire is inevitable.
