Recently, the State Office for the prevention of disease, the emergency management department, the State Forestry and grassland Bureau jointly issued a circular calling for all regions and departments to integrate their ideas and actions into the spirit of general secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and the decision making and deployment of the Central Committee of the party. To prevent serious forest and grassland fires and create a good safety environment for winning the battle of epidemic prevention and control, maintaining stable economic operation and social harmony and stability.

According to the circular, spring has always been a period of frequent forest and grassland fires in China, and more than 70% of the major fires in the past five years have occurred during this period. With the spring ploughing production, the gradual return to work of enterprises, and the coming of Qingming Festival, the use of agricultural fire, folk fire, production and living fire in forest and pastoral areas will increase significantly, and the situation of forest and grassland fire prevention and extinguishing is becoming increasingly serious. It is necessary to strictly implement the responsibility system of local chief executives, resolutely overcome paralytic ideas, and focus on the prevention and control of epidemic situation, the national "two sessions" and the fire prevention and control work during the key periods of Qingming Festival. It is necessary to strengthen the management responsibilities of emergency departments, forest and grass-roots departments, public security departments and other departments, so as to ensure that they are responsible, responsible and conscientious. It is necessary to strengthen the reserve of fire-fighting materials to meet the needs of fighting multiple fires.

The circular stressed that after comprehensive analysis, the overall climate of China this year is still biased, the control of fire sources in the field is complex, the combustible load in forest and pastoral areas is large, and the fire risk level of forest and grassland in Northeast Inner Mongolia, southwest, central and western, North China, South China and East China will remain high. Especially in the near future, after the end of this cold wave, the weather will turn sunny and warm, the fire risk level of southern and central and western provinces will be further increased, and the fire prevention situation is not optimistic. All localities should analyze and judge the situation of forest and grassland fire prevention and control work in combination with epidemic prevention and control work from multiple dimensions, implement policies and fortification according to risks, timely release forest fire risk level forecast and high fire risk early warning information, refine and implement various emergency response measures, so as to ensure timely and orderly disposal after fire.

The notice pointed out that the high proportion of man-made fires has always been a prominent problem in forest fire prevention and control in China. All localities should take the management of man-made fire sources as the first priority, further compact the responsibility of fire source control, strengthen mass prevention and control, grid management, strengthen publicity and education, and change customs. It is necessary to seriously investigate and rectify fire hazards, strengthen the cleaning up of combustible materials, highlight key areas such as national parks, state-owned forest farms, nature reserves, scenic spots, border areas prone to fire, and strictly investigate the potential risks of key parts in forest and pastoral areas. It is necessary to strengthen the management of fire sources in the field and crack down on all kinds of illegal activities of using fire in the field.

According to the circular, all localities should strengthen the application of high technology, give full play to various existing information means in the field of forest fire prevention, such as satellite monitoring and video monitoring, realize three-dimensional monitoring such as satellite, aviation, monitoring, lookout and patrol, and strengthen the equipment and application of emergency communication equipment, so as to ensure that the fire is discovered and reported in the first time. It is necessary to strengthen the application of information command assistant decision-making system, and use advanced means such as "big data" and "cloud computing" to give full play to the role of various auxiliary support systems and business platforms. It is necessary to constantly improve the emergency plan, scientifically advance the fire prevention and extinguishing forces, ensure that the front finger can go out, the team can go up, the information can be unblocked, and the fire fighting and fire site cleaning can be effectively and orderly handled. We should firmly establish the concept of safety first and scientific rescue to ensure the safety of fire fighting. It is necessary to strengthen the duty on duty, strengthen the fire dispatching, strictly implement the information reporting system, and resolutely put an end to the absence of duty, delay and concealment of reports.
