1. The current situation faced by forest fire prevention in our region

In recent years, with the return of farmland to forest and the return of grazing land to grassland, , natural forest protection, six million acres of ecological forestry construction projects, farmland forest network transformation, grazing ban and closure and other key forestry projects have been fully implemented. The forest vegetation in our region has been rapidly restored. Many forest areas have the same pastoral areas, farmland and agricultural residences. Connected into pieces, the grass is deep and the leaves are luxuriant. Since the beginning of winter this year, there has been no effective precipitation in the entire region, and the weather has been dry, making it extremely easy for a fire to cause disaster. On December 9th and 13th, the Office of the National Forest Fire Prevention Command issued two consecutive orange alerts for high forest fire danger in our region, confirming that the forest fire danger level in our region is highly dangerous, and key forest areas are already capable of major or even particularly major forest fires. Conditions, the forest fire prevention situation is extremely severe.

2. Major recent work measures

First, strengthen organizational leadership and pay close attention to the implementation of various tasks. Since entering the critical period of forest fire prevention, the Autonomous Region Fire Prevention Office has formed a supervision team, which has visited grassroots fire prevention units in key forest areas three times, conducted comprehensive and detailed supervision and inspection of forest fire prevention work in the entire region, and held special meetings in Zhongwei City and Guyuan City respectively. Mobilization and deployment were carried out. The second is to strictly manage wild fire sources. Recently, 85% of the cities, counties, and districts in the region have promptly issued fire bans during the emergency forest fire prevention period. The Autonomous Region Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters has also issued fire bans on the three national nature reserves of Helan Mountain, Luoshan, and Haba Lake directly managed by the forestry department. In accordance with the fire ban notice, all fire sources are strictly prohibited from entering the forest area. Governments at all levels, forestry authorities and forest fire prevention departments in the region have taken effective measures in accordance with the law to strengthen fire source management. The third is to strengthen training and drills. On December 13, the Autonomous Region Fire Prevention Office specially invited experts to hold a lecture on the safety of forest fire fighting and rescue in the region, and conducted training for the forestry system, forest fire prevention departments and armed police forces in the region. More than 10 semi-professional fire-fighting teams with more than 1,800 people have been organized in various places to conduct professional training and fire-fighting drills, and the emergency plans have been revised. The fourth is to strengthen publicity and education. Since the autumn and winter of this year, the Autonomous Region Fire Prevention Office and the Ningxia Meteorological Service Center have further broadened the scope of cooperation. Starting recently, forest fire prevention public service advertisements will be broadcast on 4 channels of Ningxia TV in 7 time periods, and daily mobile phone weather forecast information will be added. Forest fire weather forecasts and forest fire warning information are sent to nearly 700,000 mobile phone users across the region. During the critical period of fire prevention, the Autonomous Region Fire Prevention Office also used its own mobile phone information platform to broadcast two forest fire warning messages to cadres and employees of the forestry system and forest police in the region every day. Various localities have also carried out flexible and diverse forest fire prevention publicity activities by mobilizing media reports, producing slogans, and distributing forest fire warning cards and promotional materials in schools, townships, villages, enterprises, cemeteries and other places. The fifth is to strengthen emergency duty and material support. Since entering the fire prevention emergency period, fire prevention departments at all levels in the district have adhered to the 24-hour duty and leadership system, and vigorously strengthened rapid response and emergency response capabilities. Semi-professional fire fighting emergency teams at all levels have strengthened training and are relatively concentrated on standby. The Autonomous Region Fire Prevention Office inspects and schedules the duty status of grassroots fire prevention offices through duty calls from time to time and at irregular times, and supervises the implementation of the daily work reporting system. The Fire Prevention Office of the Autonomous Region contacted manufacturers to conduct comprehensive maintenance and overhaul of fire extinguishing equipment in all grassroots fire prevention units across the region.
