Large-scale mountain fires have occurred in Gyeongsangbuk-do and gangwon in eastern South Korea. Why has this mountain fire been spreading?

The spread of mountain fires in Gyeongsangbuk-do, gangwon and other places in eastern South Korea is mainly caused by two reasons, one is the bad local weather, and the other is the flammability of trees. According to the Korea Meteorological Bureau, there were strong winds and dry climate in the area for several days before and after the fire spread. Most of the forests in these areas are pine trees, which are flammable trees themselves, which makes the fire fighting work more difficult. Now the fire has spread1.1.8000 hectares, setting a record in South Korea in recent ten years.

1, Bad weather The weather in South Korea is similar to that in China. It's dry in spring, and a little spark can cause forest fires. The fires in Gyeongsangbuk-do and gangwon continued to burn, largely because the air was too dry, which accelerated the spread of the fire. At the same time, the local area is in windy days. According to the report of the Meteorological Bureau, the wind speed in some places reaches 27 meters per second, and helicopters can't get close to the mountain fire area at all. Although firefighters and volunteers are trying their best to put out the fire, it is difficult to put out the mountain fire completely because of the weather.

There are many pine trees. A reporter surveyed the fire area on the spot and found that the local forest was mainly pine trees. We all know that pine trees are coniferous plants, and a little spark can ignite them. It should be noted that pine trees also contain turpentine, and turpentine itself contains rosin and turpentine, which is flammable. When the fire comes, it will emit? Scratch? The noise even jumped out of Mars and set the surrounding trees on fire. Compared with other plants, pine forest fires often cause large-scale fires, which is one of the reasons for the continuous spread of mountain fires.

The fire is being put out actively. Although the burning area of mountain fire is large, it has not actually affected human beings. Under the arrangement of the local government, the nearby residents have basically moved away. At present, more and more firefighters have joined the rescue operation, and many residents have volunteered to form a volunteer team to help the affected people deliver materials. With the joint efforts of everyone, I believe that the fire will be put out soon and the residents will return to their homes.
