Abstract

Three serious accidents connected to gas releases happened in the territory of the Czech Republic during 2013. Sixpeople died in them, dozens of people were injured and the damagesamounted to more than 4 million euro. These accidents were the stimulus for the establishment of the preventive campaign. Its aim is to explain to people the risks in their homes, especially the threats of dangerous gas and fire, and to suggest protective measures. The preventive campaign is realized by the Czech Fire Officer Association, which is a constituent of the Federation of the European Union Fire Officer Association, and in collaboration with the Fire & Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. As part of the campaign, a website has been created as a comprehensive base of information for both laymen and experts. Other steps have been taken gradually. The objective of these steps is to boost awareness in the population of the Moravian and Silesian Region as well as other regions in the Czech Republic. Key words:preventive campaign, gas release, fire
