The mountain fire in Jiangbei Street in Fuling District of Chongqing has been effectively controlled. What caused the mountain fire?

On August 18, the media reported that a mountain fire broke out in Jiangbei Street, Fuling District, Chongqing, China. After learning the news, the local fire department immediately rushed to the scene to put out the fire. Due to the rapid spread of the fire, it has brought great challenges to the fire fighting and rescue work of the local fire department. Fortunately, after 1 1 hour of intense fighting, the mountain fire in Jiangbei Street, Fuling District, Chongqing was effectively controlled at about 7: 40 that day, with no casualties. At present, there is no official report on the cause of mountain fire in Jiangbei Street, Fuling District, Chongqing. However, under such weather and climate conditions, such a serious mountain fire occurred mainly according to the following points.

On the one hand, the recent continuous high temperature weather, no precipitation, high temperature weather, dry trees are easy to catch fire, and dead trees and leaves on the mountain are the main causes of mountain fires. The high temperature in recent days is unbearable in many parts of the country, not to mention Chongqing, a city with high temperature weather. In addition, dry branches and leaves are natural combustion-supporting devices. After the small flame rises, it will immediately expand the fire, resulting in a large-scale mountain fire, which poses a serious threat to the life safety and property safety of local residents. The mountain fire in Jiangbei Street, Fuling District, Chongqing is also caused by the lush trees here, which is also one of the reasons for the fire.

On the other hand, generally speaking, mountain fires are also related to human activities. If someone ignites an open flame in a mountain forest without responsibility, but fails to ensure that the flame is extinguished when leaving, leaving no hidden danger, it is easy to cause a mountain fire, even an unintentional small cigarette butt may bring a catastrophic mountain fire. Man-made causes are also an important cause of mountain fires in recent years. A large part of mountain fires are also caused by human beings.
