Will the wishing lamp (Kongming Lantern) cause a fire?

Kongming lanterns, also known as "wishing lanterns", are endowed with good wishes. However, "Kongming Lantern" is a burning material made of special materials, which is not easy to extinguish after being blown by the wind and can burn for a long time, which brings great hidden dangers to fire control work. If the fire source falls in a crowded warehouse and other places where flammable materials are stored, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is understood that the temperature of the flame outside the "Kongming Lantern" is as high as 300℃. If you are scratched by branches during the launch, or the fire source falls for other reasons, it is very likely to cause fire hazards and even air crashes. At present, the fire caused by "Kongming Lantern" has had painful lessons at home and abroad.

At the same time, under the unified organization of the government, we should actively do a good job of dissuasion and explanation to eliminate hidden dangers from the source. All units should keep a close eye on the key areas and main time periods of the "Kongming Lantern" discharge, continuously deepen the construction of actual combat services, and further strengthen the inspection and supervision of key units; It is necessary to strengthen the "six familiarities" drill, grasp the key and difficult points of prevention and control in the units under its jurisdiction more deeply and carefully, formulate an early warning mechanism in a targeted manner, and minimize casualties and property losses when a fire breaks out in accordance with the requirements of "five first times".
