Chongqing Mountain Fire "Blocking War": What are the difficulties faced by firefighters when the fire is blown to the front?

Affected by the high temperature, large-scale mountain fires occurred in many areas of Chongqing, which brought great trouble to the rescue work. Moreover, under the influence of little rain, many weeds and leaves on the mountain turn yellow, and the slightest sign of trouble will spread everywhere. If the rescue is not timely, these mountain fires are likely to drift around with the wind, increasing the difficulty of rescue work.

The terrain in Chongqing is steep, especially the roads in some mountainous areas are dangerous, which also brings great trouble to the rescue work. Taking Fuling mountain fire as an example, the area and scope covered by mountain fire are very wide, and the mountain roads and terrain in this area are complex, and there are even many fire spots in the mountainous areas. In this way, it is necessary to provide sufficient manpower and material resources for the progress of fire control work, and these resources are scattered, which will be difficult to implement.

In addition to these factors, the weather in Chongqing is already hot, coupled with the spread of mountain fires, resulting in the temperature near the fire even reaching more than 45 degrees. Such a hot environment may make it difficult for firefighters to endure the interference of high temperature when fighting fires, and they also need to wear heavy protective clothing when rescuing. In this case, when wearing protective clothing for rescue, firefighters are prone to heatstroke, dyspnea and other symptoms, which is also a great training for firefighters' minds.

Therefore, although the mountain fires in Chongqing have been put out, the high frequency of mountain fires in Chongqing should also attract our attention. Especially in the case of reduced rainfall, more attention should be paid to the protection of mountain fires. If it is not put out in time, it will not only spread the fire, but also cause great losses to the forest resources in the forest area, and may even bring great impact to the local economy. We also need to pay the highest tribute to the firefighters who participated in the fire fighting work. Without their all-out efforts, the mountain fire may continue to spread and the losses may be very great.
