Safety during power outages: guidelines for using portable gas burners

Key safety recommendations for cooking are available on the '101' platform

During power outages, using portable gas burners remains one of the simplest ways to heat food. To prevent emergency situations, it is essential to strictly follow basic safety rules when operating such appliances. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

During blackout periods, using portable camping burners remains a popular solution for quickly cooking or reheating food. However, failure to comply with basic operating requirements for gas equipment can pose a direct threat to citizens’ lives and property.

Public awareness and safety measures

To minimize the risks of fires and explosions, special information materials featuring key warnings have been created. Citizens are encouraged to share these guidelines in building community chats and among parent groups to raise public awareness.

A more detailed list of home safety rules and recommendations is published on the specialized national web platform ‘101: Safety Space for Children, Parents, and Educators’.
