Recently, our city has fully entered the forest fire prevention period. The Office of the Municipal Forest Fire Prevention and Extinguishing Headquarters reminds the public that illegal outdoor fire use is strictly prohibited to protect the green forests. According to the "Forest Fire Prevention Regulations" and the "Zhejiang Province Forest Fire Control Regulations", the current forest fire prevention period in our city will last until April 30 of next year, totaling six months.
In recent years, our city's forestry sector has achieved leapfrog development, with forest resources growing rapidly. The total forest land area in the city has reached 315,651 mu, and the forest coverage rate is 17.42%. Since the beginning of this year, the overall situation of forest fire control in the city has been stable. However, during the autumn and winter seasons, the weather is dry, forested areas are densely populated, and agricultural, forestry, and urban areas are interwoven, making it difficult to control outdoor fire sources. The forest fire risk level is gradually increasing, and the forest fire prevention situation remains severe.
In recent days, the Municipal Forest Fire Prevention and Extinguishing Headquarters has exerted efforts to carry out the investigation and rectification of potential forest fire hazards, as well as the investigation and punishment of illegal fire use. They have strengthened patrols and inspections, enhanced the training, drills, and duty of forest firefighting teams, and intensified household publicity efforts.
The Municipal Emergency Management Bureau reminds the public that during the forest fire prevention period, it is essential to actively comply with forest fire prevention laws, regulations, and related systems, effectively enhance awareness of forest fire prevention, and consciously adhere to outdoor fire use regulations. Without approval, no unit or individual is allowed to use fire outdoors in forest fire prevention zones. Necessary production-related fire use must be carried out after obtaining approval in accordance with regulations and ensuring that safety measures are in place. If you discover violations or fire incidents, please promptly intervene to dissuade and immediately call the emergency hotline at 110.
