on the territory of our country's forests cover more than one billion hectares.Immediately it should be noted that not all areas are suitable for economic use.However, fires in the woods, on whatever areas they occur always cause great damage to the environment.Specialists on the protection of nature is the term "combustibility of forests", which is used to characterize and assess the situation.In this respect Russia lags behind Europe and North America.In part, this is explained by the large areas of unprotected forests.In the northern regions of Siberia and the Far East it is very difficult to deal with the protection of the technical side.
passionless statistics show that forest fires often occur as a result of human activity.More than 80 percent of the number of fires occur in the careless handling of fire.The cause of the accident can serve as outstanding stub, match or spark a fire.Even the exhaust gases from the working bulldozer capable of causing a forest fire.Given these circumstances, the Federal Forestry Agency has developed specific training materials on the organization of the protection of forests against fire.This checklist may be useful not only to representatives of local governments, but also individuals.
course, just a little to make a call to "Protect the forest from fire!".It is necessary to conduct appropriate activities and training.Each year, when the fire-dangerous period comes in many regions try to limit people's access to forests.Such a way to prevent fires in the forest is acceptable, but only through an integrated approach.It is no secret that there is still a significant number of people who, as they say, "live taiga fishing."Deny them produce mushrooms, berries and nuts - which means to deprive them of the sources of subsistence.In such situations, you need to carry out theoretical and practical lessons on the rules of stay in the forest area.
Fires in forests are a process of uncontrolled spread of fire.More precisely, it is spreading in the direction in which the wind blows.By type of fire can be a grass-roots, horse and underground.The speed of propagation of the grass-roots types are divided into stable and fluent.The latter type often occurs in the spring.Lights up last year's grass and fallen leaves.The propagation velocity depends on the wind speed.Steady burning may occur in mid-summer.In this case the burning of all the fertile layer on one limited area.
Mounted spreading crown of the tree, and an underground fire at the peat layer.In any case, the forest fires are very dangerous to humans.As mentioned, it is necessary to prevent a fire.But if it happened, it should if possible, to repay it and report it to the administration of the nearest settlement.When Pumping of fire need to leave the danger zone as quickly as possible.Going to be in the direction perpendicular to the edge of the windward fire.If there was a strong smoke, you need to shut your mouth and nose with a damp bandage, a towel or a piece of clothing.It is important in these situations not to panic.
