What caused the sudden mountain fire in Gaoyao, Zhaoqing, Guangdong?

In winter, the weather is dry, and most plants enter the yellowing stage, which is more flammable. A slight negligence may cause a fire accident. Mountain fires occur frequently in Guangdong, and there are dangers in Heyuan, Shenzhen, Zhaoqing and Meizhou. Some fires have burned more than half of the mountain, which is extremely difficult to put out, and once again sounded the alarm of fire prevention.

A forest fire broke out at the Hongbenggang watershed in Shiling Town, Huadu, Guangzhou. The fire spread rapidly and reached the Hongbenggang section of Shiling in Guangxu Expressway, and the fire rescue team was able to put it out all night.

Climatic factors are the main causes of fires in various places. Dong Zhang, Chief Forecaster of Guangdong Province: The weather in our province is dry for a long time, and the water evaporates quickly. In this context, once fire is used outdoors without paying attention to the management of fire, it is particularly easy to bring mountain fires.

In addition, according to statistics, from 20 10 to 2020, more than 97% of forest fires in China are caused by human factors, such as burning paper on graves, burning incense and lighting candles, setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and lighting lanterns. And fire-related behaviors that are easy to cause forest fires, such as carrying inflammable and explosive articles.

A mountain fire broke out in Datang Village, Huodao Town, Gaoyao District, Zhaoqing City. The fire was so fierce that you could see red flames from afar. Someone reported the situation to the police.

After the incident, the police and firefighters also rushed to the scene to deal with it. Many fire engines came to the scene to participate in the fire fighting. From another angle, it can be seen that the fire site is suspected to be an iron shed on the hillside, and someone tried to put out the fire with a water pipe. Netizens speculated that it may be that flammable materials piled up in the iron shed accidentally caught fire, leading to mountain fires, but this statement needs further confirmation.

The specific cause of the fire has yet to be followed up by the fire department. I would like to remind everyone that autumn is windy and dry, and it is also a season with high fire incidence. We must pay attention to the use of fire and fire safety in the field to avoid fire accidents.

The forest is like a powder keg. As long as there is a little spark, it will turn into a fire in a few seconds, spread rapidly and devour almost everything along the way.

If you want to put out the forest fire, you need to know whether the fire is burning. Fire needs heat (ignition point), oxygen and fuel. These elements are not lacking in the forest, and once they are gathered together, they will inevitably cause fires. After the fire broke out, there were three factors: fuel, weather and terrain, which made the fire spread rapidly. Let's talk about fuel first. What the forest needs most is fuel, and the deposition of fallen leaves and dead trees for many years makes the fire instantly bigger. With the development of the fire, the water under and beside the trunk quickly evaporates when it smokes at high temperature, absorbing heat and causing a bigger fire.

Weather plays an important role in the fire. Dry weather will bring extremely favorable conditions for the fire, and the wind will also help the fire spread faster. We know that hot and dry weather is the most likely to cause a fire, but the least likely to put it out. Wind will not only affect the development of fire, but also form various fires with the wind, and even cross the fire ditch.

Terrain is also very important to the fire in a place. Generally speaking, the shooting speed on uphill is much faster than downhill. The steeper the slope, the fiercer the fire. The flame moves in the direction of the surrounding wind and usually flows upward. Fire prevention is the most basic safety awareness of every citizen. In daily life, the most important thing for us is to nip in the bud. We should completely cut off the burning point in our lives.
