      In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, large-scale fire safety inspections were carried out in temples and churches where festive services are planned ahead of Christmas. According to the regional EMERCOM office, state fire supervision inspectors examined all religious sites involved in the celebrations. Special attention was paid to the condition of fire protection systems and evacuation routes.

      In addition, EMERCOM staff conducted briefings with parish priests, churchwardens and church staff. They were reminded of safety rules and actions to take in case of fire.
