This decree is considered to be the beginning of the history of fire control in the country.
Russian State Fire Service in its modern form was established shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. General legal, social and economic foundations of fire safety were provided by federal law “On fire control” adopted in 1994. Originally the fire service was part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in 2001 it was reorganized and became part of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
