After storm No. 3, although relevant authorities and local authorities have strengthened forest fire prevention and control, and disseminated information to people about the risks of fires, Quang Ninh still has dozens of forest fires that have damaged many hectares of forest. Recently, in Binh Lieu district, there have been three consecutive forest fires at Khoanh 6, sub-area 290, Pac Lieng area, Binh Lieu town; sub-area 284 Khe Ngay, Na Cap village, Vo Ngai commune and sub-area 285 bordering Na Nhai village and Ban Ngay village, Vo Ngai commune, with a burned area of dozens of hectares. The initial cause was determined to be that people were clearing the ground cover to prepare for planting a new crop, and during the process, a storm occurred, sweeping up the fire embers and causing the fire to spread.
Next, in Ha Long City, a fire broke out in the production forest area at Lot 4, Khoanh 1, Sub-area 96B, Dai Yen Ward; in Uong Bi City, a forest fire also broke out in Phuong Dong Ward, bordering Thanh Son Ward. Localities mobilized officers and soldiers of the armed forces to coordinate with forest rangers, police, militia, grassroots security forces and local people to completely extinguish the forest fires.
Faced with increasingly harsh weather, hot sun, little rain, while in the forests there are many dry branches and leaves left, leading to a very high risk of forest fires, especially for areas damaged by storm No. 3. Faced with this situation, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha issued Official Dispatch No. 36/CD-TTg requesting provinces and centrally-run cities to strengthen forest fire prevention and fighting in the area; Directing local authorities and functional forces to strictly implement their responsibilities for forest fire prevention and fighting; Strengthening urging, inspection and supervision of forest fire prevention and fighting, in which the motto is to take prevention as the main thing, fire fighting must be carried out early, from the grassroots; Strictly control the use of fire in and near forests by people, especially burning and treating vegetation, promptly prevent and strictly handle acts of using fire that pose a high risk of causing forest fires, especially during periods of prolonged dry and hot weather; Review, update and complete local forest fire prevention and fighting plans according to the "four on-site" motto, proactively arrange forces, means, materials and funds to ensure forest fire prevention and fighting; Proactively direct competent authorities to investigate and clearly identify the causes of forest fires, strictly handle subjects who intentionally violate the law on forest fire prevention and fighting; Handle responsibilities for heads of agencies and organizations if they lack responsibility in leadership and direction leading to forest fires; Strengthen propaganda, education, raise awareness and sense of responsibility of each cadre, party member and people in forest fire prevention and fighting...
In Quang Ninh province, there are currently about 112,000 hectares at high risk of fire, mainly forests planted with flammable trees such as pine, acacia, eucalyptus, bamboo, most of which are forests with fallen trees after storm No. 3. To be proactive in forest fire prevention and control, the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee has just issued Official Dispatch No. 2644 - CV/TU requesting heads, Party committees, Party organizations, authorities, heads of departments, branches, agencies, relevant units, Party secretaries, chairmen of district and commune People's Committees and forest owners to be responsible for organizing and implementing work contents related to forest fire prevention and control; Absolutely do not be negligent, subjective, or lose vigilance, especially in areas where forests have fallen after storm No. 3, areas with high forest density during prolonged hot weather, high risk of fire; Proactively arrange means, materials, and funds to effectively carry out forest fire prevention and fighting according to the motto of being proactive, proactive from afar, early, "3 before, 4 on-site"; Be ready, proactive, and determined to evacuate people from dangerous areas when necessary, "absolutely not allowing human casualties" and minimizing forest damage; Investigate and strictly handle according to the law for forest fires, intentional forest destruction... Especially, propagate to people living near forests, forest owners, forestry companies to further raise their sense of responsibility in forest fire prevention and fighting, not to burn and treat the ground cover leading to uncontrolled forest fires. Along with that, make more efforts in planting new protective forests and production forests, thereby quickly restoring the forestry sector after storm No. 3.
The hot season is approaching, and it is forecasted that there will be little rain this year, leading to a very high risk of forest fires. Therefore, along with the participation of functional forces and local authorities at all levels, the sense of responsibility of each citizen, forest owner, and forestry unit in protecting, preventing, and fighting forest fires is very important.
