At a meeting of the permanent commission of the city council on social issues, Vice Mayor Victoria Mozgacheva reported that all 119 schools and 124 kindergartens in Bishkek are equipped with evacuation plans in case of fire.

She noted that an alarm button has been installed in each educational institution, with an annual budget of 15 million soms allocated for its maintenance.

“Fire alarms are functioning in 116 schools and 118 kindergartens. In some educational institutions in the Lenin district and three kindergartens, the installation of this system is ongoing. The Ministry of Emergency Situations regularly checks the proper installation of fire safety boxes, hydrants, and other equipment. Fire drills are conducted according to schedule, and no remarks regarding compliance with legislative requirements have been received,” added Victoria Mozgacheva.

She also emphasized that all educational institutions are insured in accordance with current legislation.

The Vice Mayor reminded about the case of smoke in the office of the director of school No. 63, which occurred in May 2025. As a result, the State Insurance Organization reimbursed the repair costs.

“There are also teams of young rescuers and fire brigades in schools, who undergo training and compete in a playful manner to enhance their skills,” concluded Victoria Mozgacheva.
