Recent increases in air temperatures can increase the risk of field fires because high temperatures and dry weather can dry out crops and make areas more susceptible to fire. If the weather continues to be hot and dry for a long time, the risk of land fires increases. therefore, it is important to pay attention to weather conditions and comply with fire warnings if in an area prone to land fires. Prevention measures such as clearing the area around the field, mowing grass and leaves, and keeping plants hydrated can help reduce the risk of field fires.
In this case the fire department has a very important role in tackling land fires. Land fires are fires that occur in open areas such as forests, grasslands, or dry agricultural land. Wildfires can quickly spread and cause great damage to the environment and wildlife.
The following are some of the important roles played by firefighters in tackling land fires:
Prevention: Firefighters carry out activities to prevent land fires by conducting routine patrols in fire-prone areas. besides that, they also provide education to the public about how to prevent land fires, such as not burning garbage near dry land.
Suppression: When a land fire occurs, the fire department will immediately respond and extinguish it using special equipment and techniques. They will also extinguish the fire systematically so that the fire does not spread to a wider area.
Wildlife rescue: Field fires can trap and burn wild animals. The fire department will work closely with the wildlife management team to rescue trapped animals and bring them to a safer place.
Rehabilitation: After the land fire has been extinguished, the fire department will assist in the rehabilitation of the fire-affected area. this includes returning the area to its original condition, replanting damaged vegetation, and carrying out controls to prevent future fires.
Overall, the role of firefighters is very important in tackling land fires and keeping the environment safe.
