There are only two causes of forest fires, natural and man-made, and man-made fires account for an absolute high proportion. In non-mountainous areas, man-made fires are basically the root cause of forest fires, especially the use of fire in agricultural production and the sacrifice of graves are the two main causes of man-made. The key to prevent forest fires is the word "prevention".
1. Closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation during forest fire prevention period. Generally speaking, the forest fire prevention period is usually arranged from1October 30 10 to May 3 1 the following year, but now many areas begin to prevent fire all year round. During closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, it is best to set up fire prevention checkpoints at each intersection to prevent kindling from entering the mountain. At the same time, fire fighters should strengthen mountain patrol to prevent people on the wild road from carrying kindling.
Second, in the critical period of fire prevention, we must hold the hilltop plot. During the winter solstice, Spring Festival, Qingming and spring production, it is necessary to supervise cemeteries in key forest areas to prevent mountain fires caused by burning paper and setting off firecrackers, and at the same time persuade ordinary people to use flowers instead of burning paper.
Three, equipped with professional forest fire brigade and professional fire fighting tools. Many people always think that fire fighting is a very simple thing, but it is not. Fire fighting requires not only excellent technology, but also basic common sense problems. In case of a mountain fire, how to get up the mountain? How to put out the fire? There are detailed rules and technical requirements on where to wait. Forestry people all know that there is a "three strikes" principle in fire prevention, that is, "strike early, strike small, strike", which means that small fires are found early and easy to control, but it means that they must be killed and put out at one time, and never leave hidden dangers. Generally speaking, you should wait for a period of time at the scene after the fire is put out to prevent it from happening again.
Fourth, clean up the combustible materials under the forest in advance. After a summer of lush growth, a lot of leaves and hay usually accumulate under the forest, and the trees are thick. If there is a fire, it is basically uncontrollable.
At present, it has entered the critical period of spring fire prevention, and the busy farming has begun. Many farmers began to burn wasteland to farm. In addition, there are many winds in spring, especially in recent years, the climate is basically "dry in winter and dry in spring", and there is little rain in spring, which is the most likely to cause fires. In addition, spring is still the golden age of going out, and the number of going out increases, which increases the control range of fire prevention. Most importantly, Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming, which is the most popular festival in forestry.
