High risk of forest fires in Chi Linh, Kinh Mon

Hai Duong Forest Protection Department requested the Forest Protection Department of Chi Linh City and Kinh Mon Town to strengthen measures to prevent and fight forest fires.

According to the forecast of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting and monitoring of the Provincial Forest Protection Department, from October 22 to 28, areas in Hai Duong will have no rain or light rain, insignificant rainfall, prolonged dry weather, very low air humidity combined with a large amount of flammable materials due to broken and fallen trees after storm No. 3 (Yagi) causing a very high risk of forest fires.

Forest fires in Chi Linh City and Kinh Mon Town are forecast to remain at level IV (dangerous level), with a high risk of forest fires. If a fire occurs, the fire will spread quickly.

To proactively prevent and minimize the number of fires and damage caused by forest fires, the Hai Duong Forest Protection Department recommends that relevant agencies increase warnings of forest fire risks in weather forecasts.

The Forest Protection Department of Chi Linh City and Kinh Mon Town proactively advised the People's Committees of the city and town to effectively direct the implementation of the Prime Minister's telegram, plans and dispatches of the Provincial People's Committee on strengthening measures to prevent and fight forest fires, especially during the dry season...

Direct the police, military, forest rangers, forest owners and People's Committees of communes and wards to increase patrols and forest inspections from 3-7 p.m. every day in key fire areas, especially forest areas adjacent to historical sites, special-use forests, and protective forests damaged by storm No. 3...

Strictly control people and vehicles entering the forest to detect early and mobilize fire fighting forces promptly to control the fire immediately.

The Forest Protection Departments of the two localities above have assigned forces to be on duty 24/7, including holidays. When forest fires are at level IV or V, all activities of clearing vegetation and clearing gardens by using fire are strictly prohibited. Prepare plans to mobilize forces and means to respond to forest fire situations according to the "4 on-site" principle, resolutely not allowing large fires to occur.
