Chongqing set up a working group: it will investigate the cause of forest fires. Why do forests catch fire easily in hot weather?

There are many reasons for forest fires, but most of them are caused by fire sources. If we smoke in the mountains, we will throw away the unlit cigarette butts at will, which is likely to ignite hay. Weeds in summer are very dry and short of water, and once they are ignited by fire, they will spread quickly. At this time, what we can do is to escape quickly so as not to get hurt. Of course, extreme high temperature weather is caused by nature, and it is also one of the main causes of forest fires!

Some research experts say that this extremely hot weather may lead to spontaneous combustion of forests! Because the spontaneous combustion caused by internal heat means that combustible materials react with oxygen, and then, without the intervention of supply, when the external temperature reaches a certain temperature at the same time, its own temperature continues to rise, which leads to combustion. The summer of 2022 is really too hot, and the frequent occurrence of spontaneous combustion fires in many areas is really distressing, and the rescue of forest spontaneous combustion fires is also quite difficult, because the area is relatively wide and there are many things around the particularly exposed environment.

Once the forest catches fire, it can be said that it is a disastrous behavior, because there are really many uncontrollable factors in the forest. For example, a sudden strong wind will change the direction of the fire. If the response is not timely, rescuers are likely to be swallowed up by the fire in an instant. Therefore, the rescue is not only difficult, but also takes a long time. There are many plants on the mountain. If the plants on the mountain can be ignited in a large area, it can be explained that the complexity of rescue is unimaginable. In this regard, we should pay more attention to the protection of forest fire prevention. When it is hot in summer, some forests should be physically cooled and artificially intervened!

In the summer of 2022, many situations caused by high temperature weather have deeply affected everyone's life. But after this incident, I believe that as a department, we will take precautions against such a situation and will not let such a thing happen to us again.
