What are the main causes of forest fires?

Man-made cause of forest fire is the biggest factor, and secondly, long-term dry weather may also lead to the continuous increase of ground temperature, and forest materials are easy to cause spontaneous combustion. Moreover, lightning strikes can also lead to fires. Let me introduce the main causes of forest fires, hoping to help you.

Causes of forest fires

1. Insufficient awareness of fire prevention: With the adjustment of industrial structure in forest areas, economic invigorating and the increase of public holidays, the number of people who enter the forest areas for production activities such as construction and mining and sightseeing has increased greatly, while some people have weak awareness of fire prevention and lack of knowledge of fire prevention, resulting in forest fires.

2. Inadequate supervision and loopholes in fire prevention: forest fire prevention is not really taken as a major event in some places. In particular, in some key forest fire prevention counties, the arrangement and deployment are only to cope with the superior inspection, and the meeting is implemented by the meeting, and the document is implemented by the document. The prevention work is a mere formality, and the fire prevention measures are not really implemented. The plan was not started in time for the change of the fire prevention situation, the forest protection personnel and the lookout personnel were not on duty in time, and the field fire source management was full of loopholes.

3. The construction of comprehensive support capacity is lagging behind: the construction of fire-fighting infrastructure is far from enough, mainly reflected in the lack of transportation and the backwardness of fire-fighting equipment and communication means. The state requires that state-owned forestry bureaus and farms in key forestry counties should establish at least one professional or semi-professional firefighting team, but most units have not yet been established.

4. It is more difficult to manage fire sources in the field: with the increase of fires used in production and life in the field, the pressure of fire source management is increased, and the climatic conditions are extremely unfavorable, forest fires are prone to occur in spring and autumn, which makes it more difficult to manage fire sources in the field.

Administrative measures for forest fire prevention

1. Implementing the responsibility system of administrative leaders. The Regulations on Forest Fire Prevention promulgated by the State Council clearly stipulates that "the responsibility system of administrative leaders of people's governments at all levels shall be implemented for forest fire prevention." "The competent forestry authorities at all levels have an important responsibility for forest fire prevention." All units in the forest area shall, under the leadership of the local people's government, implement the leadership responsibility system of departments and units, and sign responsibility forms at different levels to implement their responsibilities by formulating reward and punishment measures.

2. Vigorously carrying out publicity and education on forest fire prevention is a highly social and mass work, which concerns thousands of families in the whole society and everyone. Only by vigorously carrying out publicity and education and raising the awareness of disaster prevention in the whole society can we achieve good prevention and control effects.

3. Management of forest fires by wild fire sources. Except for a few natural fire sources such as lightning strikes, most of them are caused by human factors, and all kinds of wild fire sources are strictly managed. According to the actual situation in our province, we mainly do the following work:

(1) manage the fire used in field production, strictly control the productive fire used in the key period of forest fire prevention, and any unit or individual that needs fire for production must be approved by the local government or forest fire prevention office according to the prescribed authority, and strictly abide by the "six don't burn" rule, that is, don't burn in the absence of leaders; Do not burn after a long drought without rain; The wind above level 3 does not burn; If the fire line is not opened properly, it will not burn; Failing to organize fire fighters to burn; Don't burn the fire extinguisher if you're not ready.

(2) There are mainly two kinds of outdoor domestic fires (including boiling water, cooking, barbecuing dry food, and game fire). One is to use the fixed domestic fires that must be used by workers in the field, and a special person is responsible for them. Choose a safe place near rivers, roads, etc., and use the fire after opening the fire line near grasslands or forests. After using the fire, you must clean up the residual fire, and after repeated inspection, you can leave after it is impossible to burn again; Second, the temporary field fire personnel who have organized certificates to enter the mountain shall also be handled according to the regulations on field fire. During the fire prevention period (especially in high fire danger weather), it is strictly forbidden for unorganized individuals to use fire in the wild in forest areas, and offenders will be severely punished.

(3) The management of outdoor smoking is mainly to strengthen the education of people entering the mountain and strictly enforce the system. Smoking is absolutely not allowed in the forest area during the fire prevention period, and offenders will be punished, and those who cause fire accidents will be investigated for criminal responsibility by the public security department according to relevant regulations. At the same time, strengthen the inspection of people entering the mountain, and do not bring fireworks into the mountain. For production workers, mine surveyors and forest dispatchers who are engaged in production operations in forest areas, they can adopt the method of centralized smoking, designate a person to be responsible, choose a safe place, put out cigarette butts after smoking, and strictly check before leaving.

(4) The management of fire sources of outdoor machinery is mainly to control the fire sources of railway locomotives, tractors and automobiles in forest production operations. It is required to install an effective Mars net and fire cover during the fire prevention period. Railway locomotives should strictly implement the relevant fire prevention rules and regulations, and specify the furnace cleaning place; Designate a special person to patrol the fire danger areas with steep slopes along the railway to prevent the tiles from catching fire.

(5) The management of burning paper on graves is mainly to organize propaganda teams to carry out publicity and education on key festivals, such as Qingming Festival, and add temporary checkpoints at the crossing leading to graves to check whether there is fire; In places where graves are concentrated, organize special personnel to guard them, and it is not allowed to burn paper on graves during the fire prevention period.

(6) The management of natural fire sources is mainly to pay attention to weather forecast. Where conditions permit, high-tech equipment can be selected to strengthen lightning detection. In the season prone to thunderstorms and lightning strike areas, the patrol density is increased, and the observation is carried out day and night to prevent the spread of lightning fires.

(7) The management of children and stupid people playing with and making fires in the wild is mainly to strengthen the education of parents, teachers and guardians, and ask them to strictly discipline children and primary school students, strictly watch over stupid people, and sign a letter of guarantee to ensure that they will not make fires in the wild during the fire prevention period.

(8) In the management of foreign tourists, publicity and education should be mainly strengthened, and eye-catching placards prohibiting outdoor smoking and picnics should be set up at the entrance to the mountain pass and the intersection leading to the forest area, and public smoking rooms should be set up at the tourist concentrated scenic spots and the distribution office to concentrate on smoking, and the punishment regulations for outdoor smoking with fire should be notified.

(9) We should also take strict precautions against other fires, such as hunting, shooting, blasting, high-voltage line falling off and accidental fire sources.

4. Fire control according to law. The imperfect legal system and the weak legal concept of grassroots cadres and the masses are an important reason for the frequent occurrence of forest fires in China. In view of this problem, the state and local governments should attach importance to strengthening the legal system and use legal means to prevent forest fires. The Regulations on Forest Fire Prevention and the Measures for the Implementation of Forest Fire Prevention in Zhejiang Province have made clear and specific provisions on forest fire prevention. Notice of Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department, Zhejiang Higher People's Court and Zhejiang Provincial People's Procuratorate on Relevant Issues Concerning Handling Cases of Fire Crimes and Fire Liability Accidents [21] No.9 Document has made provisions on related issues such as serious injury, death or heavy losses to others' property caused by the negligence of the actor.

1. What is a forest fire? Any forest climate that is out of human control, spreads and expands freely in the woodland, and brings certain harm and loss to the forest, forest ecosystem and human beings is called a forest fire.

2. Types of forest fires: According to the burning location, nature and degree of harm, forest fires can be divided into three categories: surface fires, crown fires and underground fires.

1. Surface fire: the most common forest fire refers to the fire that starts from the ground cover, roots, young trees and the subcortical layer near the ground and spreads along the ground surface.

2. Crown fire: refers to the surface fire that meets strong wind or young coniferous trees, dead trees or drooping branches, burns to the crown and spreads along the crown with the wind.

3. Underground fire: Underground fire usually occurs in coniferous forests in dry season. The fire burns in forest roots, soil surface organic matter and peat layer, with slow spreading speed, high temperature, long duration and extremely destructive power. The roots of trees and shrubs passing through underground fire are burnt out, and a large number of trees fall down. Common sense of forest fire prevention

1. It is forbidden to burn wasps and wild animals in the mountains.

iv. basic principles for fighting forest fires: the basic principles for fighting forest fires are "fight early, fight small and fight". Playing early means putting out the fire in time; Playing small means beating what just happened; Hit means the thoroughness of putting out the fire. It is necessary not only to beat the open fire, but also to clean up the dark fire and eliminate all remaining fires.

7. Pay close attention to the types and flammability of combustible materials in the fire to avoid entering the flammable area.

8. Pay attention to the terrain conditions of the fire site. Fire fighters are not allowed to enter the areas surrounded by mountains on three sides, saddle-shaped valleys, narrow caotanggou, narrow valleys, sunny slopes and so on to directly beat the fire heads.

9. When fighting forest fires, you should choose the fire safety zone and evacuation route in advance to prevent accidents.

1. Once in a dangerous environment, keep a clear head and actively try to save yourself.

11. When putting out underground fire, be sure to find out the scope of the fire and mark it to avoid entering the fire area by mistake.

12. Firefighters are physically exhausted, so they should take a break in time to maintain their vigorous physical strength.

VI. What kind of punishment will be imposed on the fire perpetrators? Those who enter the forest area without permission in violation of regulations during the fire prevention period will be fined. If forest fires are caused by illegal use of fire, the criminal responsibility of the perpetrators will be investigated according to law, and the competent leaders of the unit will be investigated for administrative responsibility.
