Yellowstone strengthening the promotion of forest fire storage pool construction

On August 30, the construction of a forest fire prevention infrastructure and comprehensive use of fire extinguishing drills were launched in Qifeng Mountain.

At the exercise site, the fire extinguishing team first used the carrying wind fire extinguisher to control the fire, and then supported the water from the storage pool not far from far away. Soon the fire was controlled. In fact, water is the most effective fire extinguishing agent in nature, but in the forest prevention and fire extinguishing, due to factors such as limited transportation, the use of water is far from being widely used. In recent years In the fire, it became the exploration direction of forest fire prevention work.

At the end of last year, Huangshi exploration tried to build facilities such as storage pools, piloted the storage pool and bucket construction at the Qifengshan Forest Farm, and first built a newly built water storage pool at a place where there are water sources. The supplementary clothing point requires artificially adding water buckets.

On the same day, Huangshi City was also held on the forest fire extinguishing scene in 2022. The meeting proposed that it is necessary to vigorously promote the construction of infrastructure such as fire and strengthening fire storage pools. It is necessary to conduct targeted surveys of the hydrological situation in the forest area and understand the distribution of water resources, including rivers, reservoirs, lakes, etc., establish water sources files, draw water sources to provide solid guarantees for water extinguish. In some key water sources, the construction of water sources should be strengthened, and storage ponds or wells are constructed in key parts of the forest area to transform spring water and streams to ensure that it meets the water supply standards and provide strong support for water extinguishing water on the water source.
