Inspecting forest fire prevention and fighting work in An Nong commune (Tinh Bien town)

According to the Provincial People's Committee, the current hot weather situation is prolonged; in particular, the forest fire level in the province is forecasted to be level IV - level V (dangerous and extremely dangerous levels), so the risk of forest fires is very high.

Provincial authorities and People's Committees of districts, towns and cities with forests must strictly implement their responsibilities in managing forest fire prevention and fighting; strengthen inspection and supervision of forest fire prevention and fighting, considering this a key and regular task during the peak period of the dry season in 2025. Inspect, promptly detect and strictly handle violations of current forestry laws.

Strengthen inspection, supervision, and guidance on forest fire prevention and fighting and forest fire safety inspection. When a forest fire occurs, promptly mobilize forces to handle the forest fire situation, not allowing the fire to spread or become larger. After a forest fire, promptly investigate to determine the cause and the person who caused the fire, strictly handle the violating organizations and individuals, and have a plan to restore the forest.

Forest owners proactively review the forest fire prevention and fighting plans that have been developed, treat the vegetation, and reduce combustible materials in the forests assigned to their management that are at high risk of forest fires. Identify specific key areas at high risk of forest fires to arrange human and material resources to be ready to prevent and promptly handle forest fires. Organize forces to be on duty 24/7 during the dry season.
