Citizens are urged not to light fires outdoors

With the start of spring work in the open space, recently there have been frequent situations where property owners collect waste and deposit it in wild landfills in an illegal manner, burning of unmown meadows in the territory of the municipality of Rožaje is also common, notes the Protection and Rescue Service.

In most cases, a fire on burning property and wild dumps gets out of control and turns into a wildfire that is difficult to control.

The resulting fires endanger human lives, properties and residential buildings, i.e. there is a general danger caused by the human factor, which as such constitutes a criminal act.

The Protection and Rescue Service in cooperation with the municipal police and the Rožaje Security Department will be forced to take measures in accordance with the law against the owner who causes public danger.

For this reason, I appeal to the citizens of the municipality of Rožaje to avoid open fires that cause a general danger and to remove the deposited waste in the prescribed manner in order not to cause a general danger and to avoid criminal liability, according to the statement signed by Bećir Kalač. Commander of the Service.
