As a person with more than 20 years of experience in planting and developing forests, owner of the largest forest area planted in the town of Duc Lang with 15 hectares, Mr. Vo Tat Thang (Village of Tan Quang) said that during hot days, even a moment of carelessness can cause serious damage.
“The forest is the main source of income for my family, reporting hundreds of millions of dongs each year. Each year, during the hot season, I devote myself to the protection and prevention of forest fires. This includes tasks such as clearing, the elimination of flammable materials, the safety of production activities in the forest, coordination with the authorities for the installation of fire ban and the construction of firewalls … “-shared Mr. Vo Tat Tat.
The Duke Tho farm (belonging to the company Huong Khe Rubber) manages nearly 1,000 hectares of forest, 320 hectares of which are rubber plantations aged 15 to 17, the rest being acacias and natural forests. Currently, the majority of the Hévéa forest area of the Duc Tho farm has been and is raising latex with high yield. Forest protection is a key factor in the development of the forest economy and the increase in income from local populations.
Mr. Phan Xuan Hai, director of the Duc Tho farm, said: “At the start of the hot season, the unit installed fire ban prohibition panels in all entries, edges and forest areas threatened with fire, and repaired wall panels carrying propaganda messages on forest protection and prevention. The unit notably cleared the vegetation continuously to create fire cuts throughout the month. »»
Not only in farms or forest owners, forest fire prevention work is also implemented synchronously and effectively by the localities of the Duc Tho district. As a general rule, in the municipality of Tan Huong – one of the localities with the largest forest area in the district with 1,200 hectares, distributed in a contiguous and uniform manner in 4/4 villages – the work of propaganda on the prevention of forest fires is deployed from the villages, the hamlets to schools in the region. Until now, 100 % of the forests of the town of Tan Huong have been allocated to the populations for planting, management and exploitation. The locality has also consolidated and effectively operated the steering committee, 4 protection teams and the PCCCR shock teams.
- In the commune of Duc Dong, from the start of the hot season, many practical solutions were implemented to strengthen propaganda work and raise awareness of the population and forest owners with the risk of forest fires. Van Hiep, president of the People’s Committee of the commune of Duc Dong, said: “Duke Dong is a mountainous commune with a key forest area, subject to fires and presenting a high risk of encroachment across the district. Population income depend mainly on planting and developing forests. This is why, from the beginning of the year, we set up prevention and forest fire -fighting teams in order to provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills to react quickly to fires as soon as they appear. In addition, the study of the field, the current state of the forests and the rescue exercises were coordinated with flexibility and efficiency by the forest guards, the local authorities and the population. »»
Anticipating many difficulties and challenges in the prevention of forest fires in hot weather, the Duke Tho district protection department has also strengthened patrols and controls in key forest areas. Every day, the Duke Tho forest protection teams organize patrols under the burning sun; Update the forest fire alert on the district radio system to the municipalities.
Mr. Dinh Duke LOC, deputy director of the Duke Tho district protection department, said: “Considering that forest protection and preservation are not solely liability of forest guards or local authorities, but also the responsibility of the whole company, the Department of Protection of Forests of the District A, from the start of the year, set up the piloting committees and shock troops Protection of forests and prevention and fight against forest fires; appointed specific agents responsible for the area, coordinated with patrols and regular inspections in all forests; Developed “scenarios” for unfavorable situations that occur when a fire is detected. Thus, he ensured the forces, means and equipment necessary for the effective implementation of the motto “4 on site”; Assessed the current state of infrastructure for prevention of natural disasters, drawn up plans and scenarios to protect the safety of the work, people and property of people. »»
The initiative of the professional sector, the government and all the classes of the population of the Duc Tho district contributes to the good implementation of forest protection and prevention and the fight against forest fires, thus creating initiative and flexibility in unhappy situations. This improves the economic efficiency of forestry and improve the ecological environment of the region.
