Dog days are expected this week. Daytime temperatures will rise to 36 degrees Celsius. The people are urged to be cautious where they start fires and when swimming, IPN reports.

The Civil Protection and Emergencies Service warns that swimming at night, under the influence of alcohol and when there is wind is not recommended. It is not indicated using air mattresses, rubber tires and other improvised means for swimming. Parents should pay increased attention to their children when they go swimming.

Those who choose to have a rest in the middle of nature and start fires must obey the anti-fire rules. The fire can be started only in specially laid out places and monitored until it is completely put out. Cigarettes and matches should not be thrown randomly as they can cause fires that endanger the forests and homes.

Those who witness emergencies are asked to call 901.
