What measures should be taken to rescue the sudden mountain fire in Liaokuo Mountain, Yunnan Province?

On the afternoon of March 30th, a mountain fire broke out in Liaokuo Mountain, Qujing, Yunnan. Smoke billowed from the scene of the fire, and a raging fire could be seen in Qujing city. With the expansion of the fire area, the fire is close to Jingyu Pagoda, and the situation is very worrying. Local rangers and forest firefighters quickly assembled and quickly put into the fire fighting. After a hard struggle, the open flame was completely extinguished at 4 pm, and there were no casualties throughout. Recently, due to the warmer weather, forest fires are more likely to occur frequently, and a lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested every time. What good methods should be used in mountain fire rescue to put out the fire safely and quickly? Let's take a look at them one by one.

There are four main methods for direct fire fighting and rescue, starting with 1 direct fire fighting. This method is generally suitable for hill fires, and it can also be used in some areas with small fires, that is, directly beating the fire with branches and shovels, covering the fire with soil, and watering the fire-fighting pile with water. Need more manpower and material resources. At the same time, people on the ground need to operate at close range, so it is very dangerous to be directly in the fire. Therefore, we must pay attention to observe the fire and wind direction to avoid the sudden turn of strong wind to guide the fire to surround rescuers. Firefighting heroes often die in this way.

Indirect fire extinguishing is much less dangerous, and it is also suitable for fire sites with strong mountain fires. The specific method is to cut down the isolation belt manually and enclose the mountain fire with a certain width of isolation belt. If the mountain fire burns here, it will naturally go out without isolation belt. In this way, it should be noted that the width of the cutting isolation belt should be determined according to the wind force. If the wind is strong and the isolation belt is too narrow, the fire may burn through the isolation belt and continue to wreak havoc.

Aviation fire fighting Aviation fire fighting is to spray fire extinguishing agent directly by aircraft to form an isolated area or directly put out mountain fires to prevent the fire from spreading. This fire extinguishing method is costly. Whether to fire in the air should be judged according to local conditions. It is mainly suitable for some remote forest areas with inconvenient transportation and places difficult for rescuers to reach, and is more suitable for fire fighting in the air.

Although the fire extinguishing method of artificial rainfall is labor-saving and effective, it needs certain weather conditions to be implemented. In other words, it must be carried out when there are rain clouds in the sky, and then the nucleating agent is scattered by rockets or planes to promote rain clouds and rainfall, which can save a lot of manpower and put out the fire. It's just that mountain fires mostly happen when the weather is dry, and there are basically no rain clouds, so this kind of fire fighting method is rarely used.
