The forest fire in Mianning was caused by cigarette butts. How to reduce forest fires?

In order to reduce the occurrence of forest fires, we must do a good job in propaganda and patrol.

Spring ploughing is coming, burning some straw will cause a big fire. As the weather gets warmer and everything recovers, it is also the season for farmers to plow in spring. Before plowing in spring, people will collect and burn the straw planted the year before. But now that the weather is getting warmer, there are a lot of combustible materials in the forest. The weather is very dry and windy. When burning, Mars drifts with the wind and falls into the forest, which is easy to cause fire.

Natural fire, lightning phenomenon, sudden fire. Good rain knows the season, spring comes and spring comes, and thunderstorm weather follows. Lightning weather is very common now. Lightning strikes dry trees, causing sparks and forest fires.

Uncivilized behaviors such as smoking in the wild and cooking with fire cause fires. Nowadays, many people have the bad habit of smoking. They go home in the wild and throw unlit cigarette butts everywhere, which is easy to cause fire. Some people go for an outing and cook in the wild. They don't put out the fire when they leave. There are many flammable materials in the wild, and now the weather is very dry and easy to catch fire. Therefore, forest fires often occur.

From 20 13 to 20 15, there were about190,000 fires in China, of which cigarette butts accounted for 25%, causing great personal injuries and economic losses. Especially after smoking in the forest, it can only be found when the fire spreads widely, which causes tens of millions of economic losses every time, and it takes decades for the burned trees to recover. Therefore, the country has long banned anyone from smoking in the forest, and once found, they will face punishment. However, there are still many people who knowingly smoke secretly in places with few people, which leads to fires.

Why do small cigarette butts cause forest fires? Because the temperature in the center of cigarette is as high as 800-900℃, the temperature at the burning edge of cigarette paper is as high as 200-300℃, and the ignition point of wood is only 250-300℃, it is easy to ignite the surrounding wood. In addition, there are many organic combustible substances in the forest. Once the wood is ignited, it will immediately spread to the surrounding area, eventually forming a forest fire. Each of us should realize the seriousness of forest fire ideologically, which is the key to do a good job in forest fire prevention.
