With the aim of preventing fires, the Municipality of Kula has issued an order prohibiting the burning of crop residues (straw and stubble) during this year’s harvest. This decision was made primarily because such practices cause fires in most cases. A notice has also been issued explaining in greater detail the conditions and procedures to follow in the event of a fire, as well as how to prevent one. All agricultural machinery used for harvesting and transport must be in good working order and equipped with appropriate fire-extinguishing equipment. Operators of this machinery must also be trained in firefighting and carry first-aid equipment. For any questions on this matter, residents can call the following numbers: Kula Municipal Fire Service, 025/722-801; Kula Fire Brigade, 025720-093; and the Municipal Harvest Headquarters, 025/722-302.
