Resident was fueling a chainsaw while indulging in cigarette smoking.

Oh boy, here's a wild one from June 15th in the quaint village of Kryvevshchyna!

An older fella, 60 years young, had himself a bit of a pickle while refueling his chainsaw. Seems like he inadvertently drenched himself in some flammable goo. Ignoring this mishap, he casually lit up a smoke, which sent his clothes up in flames. A neighbor caught wind of this and promptly dialed an ambulance.

After a thorough examination by the docs, the poor guy ended up in the hospital, sporting a variety of burns.

Now, you might be curious about what happened next door, but here's the lowdown on other mishaps:

  1. Bike-car collision in Minsk - A nine-year-old kid on his bike got hit by a car. His first thought? "Mom's gonna kill me!" He ended up in a ditch, but doors to recovery were open.
  2. Speeding vehicle in Minsk - A teenager behind the wheel of a car decided to test the limits, hitting a whopping 160 km/h. Mom's response? More like a grounding, not a hug.
  3. Border brouhaha - A bus driver from Minsk to Vilnius thought he'd pocket some extra cash by smuggling 50 packs of smokes. Customs officers nabbed him at the border. Guess he's learning the hard way that crime doesn't pay.

But what about your chainsaw woes, you ask? Alrighty, let's get into some guidelines to sword-fight potential calamities:

Safety Dance During Chainsaw Refueling

  1. Power Off: Always switch off the engine before refueling. Avoid any unexpected ignition from sparks or flames.
  2. Gear Up: Wear gloves, safety glasses, and a funnel to prevent spills and keep a safe distance from open flames.
  3. Smoke-free Zone: Maintain a safe perimeter from open flames, including cigarettes, lighters, or any other sources of ignition.
  4. Cool Down: Give the chainsaw some time to chill before refueling. This keeps the heater from sparking the fuel.
  5. Fuel-friendly Location: Prefer a space free from flammable materials for refueling. Keep it well-ventilated, too.
  6. Proper Fuel: Use the suggested fuel type for your chainsaw and avoid overfilling the tank.
  7. Fuel Storage: Store fuel away from living areas and heat sources in appropriately designed containers with a tight lid.

By following these steps, you can dodge accidents and enjoy hassle-free chainsaw operation. Stay safe, folks!

  1. In the realm of health-and-wellness, it's crucial to consider mental-health aspects alongside physical health, especially after a traumatic event like the chainsaw accident in Kryvevshchyna.
  2. General-news outlets often report on accidents involving machinery, such as the one in the chainsaw incident, underscoring the importance of adhering to safety guidelines.
  3. In light of the chainsaw accident and other mishaps like bike-car collisions, speeding vehicles, and border issues, it's vital to prioritize safety when operating any equipment, from motor vehicles to power tools.
