A forest fire broke out in Nanzhao County. Officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Detachment of the Armed Police took eight hours to put out the fire. What was the cause of the fire?

This forest fire occurred in Daiwangmiao Village, Nanzhao County, Nanyang City, Henan Province on January 31, 2021. The cause of the fire was not announced, but from a regional perspective, the cause of the fire can be analyzed. : 1. Burning wasteland in winter causes fire.

That place is a rural area, and there is still a habit of burning wasteland there, so if the locals are burning wasteland and there are still sparks when they leave, it may be caused by the wind. The wildfire began to spread until it burned even bigger and became out of control. In the end, it took firefighters more than 8 hours to put it out. I have seen such fire before.

That year, someone burned down wasteland in our village. Nothing happened at first, but a gust of wind blew up and a fireball was blown up. It landed on the withered grass on the side of the mountain, and then began to burn in a large area. Our hometown was relatively close to firefighting. Far back then, men and women from the village and outside the village were still using loudspeakers to go up the mountain and put out the fire directly, and then it was slowly extinguished. Fortunately, the loss was not big. 2. Cigarette butts cause fires.

Fires caused by cigarette butts account for the highest proportion of fires and are also the most common. Because there are smokers all over the world, you never know which cigarette butt will cause trouble. The same is true for Daiwangmiao Village in Nanzhao County. There are many smokers in such places. Among these smokers, only If someone is negligent, there is a chance of causing a fire, not to mention that the smoker may still be on the mountain.

There was a relatively large wildfire in my hometown. The burned area exceeded 3,000 acres, and it was still a pine forest. After investigation by all parties, it was found that the cause was caused by smoking by a man who cut rosin. Because the area burned was so large, compensation could not be compensated. Later, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. I don’t know how he was sentenced. Anyway, it became a matter of course. Whenever the textbooks in our area talk about forest fire prevention, they will mention that case. Moreover, for a long time, anyone who went up the mountain to cut rosin was not allowed to carry fire. This rule lasted for more than 6 years. 3. Children’s playfulness causes fires.

There are also many fires caused by children's playfulness, and this happens not only in urban homes, but also in the wild.

In rural areas, there has never been a shortage of children who smoked mice and rabbits. I believe that many children have had such childhood experiences, and the same is true now. Although such fires are generally not too big, there is still the possibility of causing a fire. As for why it burns, let me tell you.

When smoking rats and other things, they will be deeper. When the fire is put in, there may be sparks that have not been extinguished, and later, they will start to burn slowly without the personnel. If you burn along the mountain, not to mention a wildfire that lasts for eight hours, it may cause a wildfire that burns for several days and nights. I have never experienced a fire caused by this kind of fire, but there have been quite a few small fires, including a firewood shed at home. I ate a lot of stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots.

So, don’t think that children playing with fire will not cause much danger. Sometimes it may directly cause a fire, causing economic losses. In fact, if children get into trouble and want to put out the fire, they dare not tell adults, they will also appear. Personal safety, therefore, for children’s education, fire must be forewarned. 4. Sacrifice causes fire.

At the end of the year, some places have the custom of offering sacrifices, so offering sacrifices can actually cause fires. Especially since many rural cemeteries are on mountains, offering sacrifices is more likely to cause fires.

Some people may say, if it is not the Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival, will there be sacrifices?

Of course, some places have the custom of worshiping ancestors in the twelfth lunar month, especially those who died relatively recently. When worshiping every year, most of them choose the anniversary of their death or the year before, and in Nanyang , the weather is relatively cold, and many elderly people cannot survive this season, so they die like this, and it becomes their death anniversary.

Although fires caused by ancestor worship are rare in the winter months, you can tell by looking at the mountain fires around the Qingming Festival every year.

In my hometown, such fires occur every year, but they cannot be banned every year. The reason is very simple. Although our country now promotes cremation and civilized sacrifices, the tradition passed down for thousands of years will not be so easy. Throw away, so the habit of worshiping and burning paper will remain no matter how banned it is.

In short, there are too many causes of mountain fires, and the real cause of the fire in Nanyang that took 8 hours to be extinguished has not been identified, and among this type of fire, not If it has a major impact, it will probably not be announced later. As long as the fire is put out, accountability will be left to the relevant departments.
