A forest fire broke out in Yanqing, Beijing. What was the cause of the forest fire?

I believe you have also recently discovered that fires have occurred frequently in forest areas across the country in recent days. A forest fire broke out in Yongning Town, Yan'an District, Beijing at 4 pm on March 18. Firefighters quickly arrived to put out the fire. What is the reason for the frequent fires in various regions today?

1. Fires caused by man-made reasons

1. Farmers burn straw. Some farmers’ land happens to be relatively close to the forest. If the wind is strong, it is easy to cause fires.

2. Burn paper when visiting graves, and visit graves during Qingming Festival and some festivals. This custom of visiting graves has been carried out by the older generation until now, although the country now prohibits visiting graves to prevent fire damage. Environment, but there are still many people who are disobedient and still go to graves. Generally, cemeteries are located on mountains and are surrounded by various trees, so it is easy to cause fires.

3. Illegal hunting. Although the country has already banned hunting, there are still many people who do not comply with the regulations for their own benefit. It is very dangerous to use firecrackers and firearms for hunting in forest and mountainous areas. If the weather is very dry and some flammable materials are encountered, it is easy to cause a fire.

4. For picnics, many people choose to enter the forest in order to experience the feeling of nature. During the picnic, it is necessary to use open flames to heat food, which can easily lead to the occurrence of fires, and sometimes Not paying attention and not extinguishing the fire caused it to resurge and eventually lead to a catastrophe.

2. Natural environment issues

The seasons most likely to cause fires are spring and autumn, because the weather in these two seasons will be very dry and the wind will be relatively strong, so once a fire breaks out It will be very difficult to control, and there are trees and some dead branches and leaves everywhere in the forest. If the light is too strong during the day, it can easily cause the temperature of the combustible to be too high, leading to a fire. Moreover, the wind is relatively strong in spring. After a fire breaks out, the fire will take advantage of the wind, and the wind will help the fire spread quickly. It is easy to cause fires to burn together and form a large area of ​​​​fire. Therefore, once a fire breaks out, the consequences will be very serious.
