A mountain fire broke out in Changshou District of Chongqing. There were no casualties. Is there any possibility of the fire rekindling?
There is a possibility of recurrence.
After the mountain fire is extinguished, there is still the possibility of re-ignition, because after the mountain fire is extinguished, only the open flame is extinguished, and there may still be ashes that have not been completely extinguished. They will re-ignite under the action of high temperature and wind, and will rekindle again. If it is not discovered in time, the mountain fire will spread to other places and ignite raging fires. It will be particularly difficult for firefighters to extinguish the mountain fire again.
In some dry weather, wildfires have occurred in many places, and wildfires often rekindle after being effectively controlled and extinguished. This is not an exception. After being extinguished, some wildfires have rekindled. The occurrence of this situation is also related to the sustained high temperature and strong winds in the area. When the mountain fire rekindled, the local firefighters had not yet evacuated the scene and rushed to the scene as soon as possible to deal with it, preventing the spread of the fire and reducing the losses of the fire.
After a wildfire occurs, firefighters will often use various methods such as digging isolation belts and filling landfills to fight the fire. After all the open fires are extinguished, specialized personnel will be left on duty to prevent resurgence. The recurrence of wildfires means that it is entirely possible that after the wildfires are extinguished, firefighters will not put out the fires again and will continue to stay at the scene in the future. Rescue after a wildfire is particularly difficult and will cause huge economic losses. We should pay attention to prevention and try to avoid wildfires.
After the fire is extinguished, there is a possibility of resurgence. After the fire extinguishing is completed, follow-up observation should be paid attention to. When thick smoke or open fire is found somewhere, it should be extinguished as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the fire. In daily life, especially in dry weather and high temperature weather, try not to use open flames or smoke in the mountains to prevent mountain fires. If a fire occurs in a business due to a lightning strike, call the police as soon as possible and assist firefighters to put out the open fire to prevent the spread of wildfires and cause more serious losses, to prevent residents from being affected by wildfires, and to prevent wildfires from posing a threat to residents' property and lives.
