The danger of fire threatens the safety of citizens at all times. The reason for the ignorance of the prohibition is not to justify the existence of this sale and purchase. Product that is easy to sell, the attitude of indifference or omission from officials and local residents, the absence of socialization of regulations and firm actions from local officials  have made the number of retailers continue to grow.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the attitude of residents and local officials to the phenomenon of the widespread existence of retail gasoline kiosks according to the Consumer Protection Act.
