When participating in outdoor activities, due to smoking, improper use of stoves, baking clothes or lighting with candles, it is easy to ignite the surrounding grass, trees or other equipment, resulting in fires and accidents.
Fire accidents generally occur, most of which are caused by paralysis of thought and careless use of fire. Therefore, when we use fire in the wild, we must raise the awareness of fire safety, and pay attention to the following points:
1. After use, immediately extinguish the fire with water and cover it with sand. And dig and bury it to prevent the ashes from re-igniting and causing a fire.
Second, when using a stove or building a stove, you should choose a place that is sheltered from the wind and close to the water source, and prepare a bucket of water. It is convenient to take water to put out the fire in case of fire.
Third, in places with many vegetation, when fire must be used, the surrounding vegetation should be cleaned up, and a fire escape of about 2 meters should be opened around to prevent sparks from splashing out and attracting surrounding fire. vegetation.
Fourth, if the wind is strong, you should train to set fire under the ditch or ridge sheltered from the wind, or build a windbreak wall, so as to prevent the strong wind from blowing away the fire, or blowing the flame out to cause a fire.
When smoking in mountainous areas or forest areas, you should prepare an empty can, put all the ashes and cigarette butts into the empty can, douse it with water or sand, dig a hole to bury it or take it away.
If you accidentally set the surrounding vegetation on fire and a fire occurs, don’t panic. If you are close to the water source, it is easy to get water. Quickly spray water to the fire and reduce the temperature to extinguish the fire. This is the most basic fire extinguishing. method.
If there is no available water source around, cover the burning objects with sacks, clothes and sand, so that the burning objects cannot be supplied with oxygen and extinguished.
Due to the large burning area, when small-scale firefighting measures are of no avail, in order to try to prevent excessive losses caused by the fire, one should run a distance downwind and remove combustibles such as vegetation before the fire reaches it. Open a fire isolation belt
, so that after the fire reaches here, it will automatically go out because there is nothing that can be touched.
