Additionally, he cautioned against using gas heaters improperly, advising people to switch them off before sleeping and place them outside the room. The safe use of mosquito coils or mats, away from flammable materials, was also emphasized, along with the installation of gas geysers in open areas instead of enclosed spaces to prevent the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

He concluded by reaffirming Rescue 1122’s unwavering commitment to serving the public with professionalism, dedication, and compassion, especially during the challenging winter months.
