After several days of hard work, at 21:56 on April 15, the forest fire of the Diantou Village Committee of Erjie Town, Jinning District was extinguished, and the fire was transferred to the fire to be cleared.
Ignition, fire clearing, and fire guarding are the three parts of fire disposal. Once the fire is extinguished, the risk of re-ignition still pervades every inch of the burned area.
The cadres, workers, volunteers and local people who were responsible for cleaning up the embers and guarding the fire endured the heat, exhaustion and hard work, cleaning up the fire inch by inch to ensure that the ashes hidden in the grass and trees did not rekindle. They carried water sprinklers on their backs, and took hoes, machetes and other tools to check over and over again, and they were so tired that they took a nap for a while......
At noon on April 16, smoke rose from time to time on the hill of "Peach Tree Orchard" next to the Limiao Reservoir in Erjie Town, and the nervous shouts of the firefighting team continued to be heard from the mountain: "Attention! Be careful of your step", "Slow down", "Hurry up and bring water......
At 12 o'clock at noon, the reporter climbed along the newly excavated emergency fire belt to the "top of the peach tree orchard" mountain, and saw that there were cadres, masses and volunteers along the way who were sticking to the scene to clean up the remaining fires. They carefully checked the fireworks points, and carefully investigated and eliminated the fire hazards with a "dragnet" inspection.
Li Qingxiang, a member of the Songlinzhuang village who had just come down from the top of the mountain, told reporters: "At 7 o'clock in the morning, I went up the mountain with the people in the village to participate in the clearing of the embers. It's spontaneous and just trying to do what they can. ”
Halfway up the mountain, the reporter saw firefighters clearing the still smoking mound. "This mound is like a 'dumb fire' in the village, it doesn't look like much on the outside, but when it is opened, there will be sparks inside, and when the wind blows, it is easy to fly to other places. To extinguish this fire, it is necessary to dig it up with a hoe, sprinkle it with water, and thoroughly water it. A member of the team who was fighting the fire said.
The officer on duty said: "The situation in the past two days has been much better than the previous days, but the more you get to the end, the more you can't relax, and you must stand on the last shift." Because of the lack of rain and high temperature for a long time, the branches and leaves are dry and prone to re-ignition. Our duty is to move around more, check frequently, find every hidden danger that may re-ignite in time, and make every effort to avoid secondary fires. ”
At 13:30 p.m., the firefighters, who had a short break, began to eat lunch. As soon as the lid was opened, the howling mountain wind blew a layer of yellow ash onto the meal, but they still ate with relish, and from time to time they joked with each other to relax their tense nerves. Before the meal was finished, a resurgence was found on the hillside next to it, and the team members immediately took action, pulled hoses, put on equipment, and plunged into the tense battle again......
On the same day, from the Limiao Reservoir to the "Peach Tree Orchard" Mountain, and then to Zhangmuqing Village, fire trucks, sanitation trucks, and green sprinkler trucks shuttled back and forth, pulling water, replenishing water, and sprinkling water in an orderly manner, increasing humidity for the edge of the fire...... With the help and support of friends and neighbors in various counties (districts), the cadres and masses of Jinning are working together to protect their homes with practical actions.
