It is very unfortunate that every year hundreds, thousands of hectares of forest disappear as a result of fires. A huge number of animals, birds perish, sometimes people die. Fire, especially in windy weather, can spread to populated areas, causing enormous material damage. Moreover, sometimes the cause of a fire is not a natural disaster, but human negligence bordering on a crime.
Instructions
Step 1
At the onset of hot, dry weather, that is, an increased fire hazard, try not to go to the forest at all. If you do go, do not light the fire, refrain from smoking and picnics with making a fire. Remember, one accidental spark can do a lot of trouble.
Step 2
If you are farsighted and wear glasses with plus (collecting) lenses, try not to take them off in sunny weather, for example, to wipe the glasses. The sun's rays can accidentally focus on dry grass or birch bark, it will begin to smolder. If you do not notice this and do not quickly extinguish the hearth, a fire is inevitable.
Step 3
For the same reason, do not leave or break empty glass bottles in the forest. They can also successfully play the role of a collecting lens.
Step 4
Even if you are a passionate hunter, refrain from your passion. Firstly, hunting is generally prohibited in the summer and you run the risk of being liable for poaching. Secondly, burning powder particles or a red-hot cartridge case falling on dry moss or grass can easily cause a fire.
Step 5
If you are driving on a forest road and it becomes necessary to fill the gasoline tank, be sure to turn off the engine first. Do not throw oiled rags or rags soaked in gasoline into the forest. Remember: vapors of fuels and lubricants are very flammable.
Step 6
When working in a garden area directly adjacent to the forest, try not to light a fire during a dry, fire-hazardous period, unless absolutely necessary. Well, if such a need nevertheless arises, do not leave him unattended, and then carefully fill the fireplace with water or throw loose earth. Do not burn dry grass.
Step 7
Do not forget that if a forest fire occurs due to your negligence, negligence, you, depending on the degree of damage caused and the severity of the consequences, may face not only disciplinary or administrative, but also criminal liability.
