The forest fires in Shiling Town, Huadu, Guangzhou were extinguished. Why are mountain fires prone to occur in winter?

Regarding the open forest fire incident in Shiling Town, Huadu, Guangzhou on January 17, 2021, we are also very alert to people to prevent wildfires. So, why are wildfires prone to occur in winter? Based on the analysis of the relevant information queried here, we can roughly understand the causes of mountain fires:

Mountain fires are a natural disaster, generally also called forest fires. Forest fires refer to the loss of human control in forest areas. Fires spread and expand freely in forests and grasslands, reaching a certain area, causing certain harm and losses to forest ecosystems and humans. Forest fires are caused by natural causes such as high temperature, drought and other weather conditions that cause the ground temperature to be relatively high, which can easily cause spontaneous combustion of combustible materials in the forest or on the surface, thus causing forest fires; another factor is that summer thunderstorms can easily cause "lightning fires", which can also easily cause forest fires. Forest fires; volcanic eruptions and other factors.

Three conditions must be met for a forest fire to occur:

1. Combustible materials (including trees, grass shrubs and other plants) are the material basis for forest fires;

2. Fire dangerous weather is an important condition for the occurrence of fires;

3. The fire source is the dominant factor in the occurrence of forest fires. So, if a wildfire breaks out, how should we save ourselves?

1. Once you find yourself in a forest fire area, you should use a damp towel to cover your mouth and nose. If there is water nearby, it is best to soak your clothes, which will provide an extra layer of protection.

2. Determine the size of the fire and the direction of the burning. You should escape against the wind and must not escape with the wind.

3. If you are unable to escape in time, you should choose to lie down on a flat ground with no combustible materials nearby to avoid smoke. Do not choose low-lying areas or pits or holes, because low-lying areas, pits, and holes are prone to deposits of smoke and dust.

4. If there is a fire on the mountainside, you have to run down the mountain. The fire spreads upward faster than people can run.

Judging from the situation of wildfires in recent years, most of them are caused by human factors. Because humans have brought fire sources or flammable objects into the forest, once the fire is formed, it is easy to spread in the forest. It is difficult to control. As you can know from the two fires in the United States and Australia, it is basically very difficult for humans to intervene in rescue operations in such fires. Therefore, countless vegetation and various animals are sacrificed in the fires. This is also the case every day. The reason why countries often advocate people to prevent wildfires may not be a big problem personally, but the winds on the mountains are relatively strong. Once a fire source appears and spreads along the wind, a line of fire will suddenly form, and it will be very difficult to deal with it. .

In short, in a word, it is necessary to prevent wildfires in any situation, and it is prohibited to cause open fires inside. If casualties are caused, etc., you will need to bear legal criminal liability. Such consequences are not every Everyone can afford it, so the individual’s awareness of preventing the slightest change should be improved.
