Suddenly! A mountain fire occurred in Fuling, Chongqing. Why are mountain fires frequent in summer?

There is a mountain fire in Fuling, Chongqing, which can always be seen in summer. This is actually due to extreme weather caused by global warming. This year, there have been many extreme weather in all parts of the country, and many places have exceeded the historical high temperature. This is because of high temperature and drought, less precipitation, and it is easy to cause forest fires.

Summer is an important period for forest fire prevention. This year, the temperature in Chongqing has reached the highest in history for so many years. Even the orange and red warnings of forest fires were issued twice. This situation of high temperature in many places, coupled with less rainfall, leads to drought and high temperature. It is precisely because of this extreme weather that some fire pools and ponds gradually dry up, which will bring great losses when encountering forest fires.

There have been many mountain fires in Chongqing, such as Daliangshan. The highest temperature in Fuling reached 42.2℃ during this period. After receiving the alarm, the fire station personnel immediately dispatched the fire fighting force. Fortunately, the fire was under control and there were no casualties. This time, the high temperature not only dried up the rivers in Chongqing, but also dried up the mountains, so there were many mountain fires on the mountains. It is because of this abnormal weather this year that there are no casualties.

High temperature brings not only drought, but also mountain fires and power shortage. Therefore, everyone should turn the air conditioner above 26 degrees as far as possible to reduce the burden on the power grid, otherwise the transformer is very easy to explode. In many places in Sichuan, enterprises are taking measures to cut off the power supply and let people have electricity to ensure the normal use of electricity. In order to enjoy the cool, some people go to the subway, and some even go to abandoned caves to try their best to enjoy the cool.
