After the forest fire was extinguished in the Diantou Village Committee of Erjie Town, Jinning District, more than 60 villagers from Lizhi Community, Qudongli Village, Zhenghe Road Community, Baozi Community, and Puda Village of Kunyang Street immediately supported Daxin Village, and divided into 10 groups to guard the remaining fires and clear the fire in the Jinlingshan Cemetery and Beiyin Mountain in the areas behind Puzhao Temple, and insisted on patrolling in 24-hour shifts to resolutely prevent the recurrence of mountain fires.

The mountain behind Puzhao Temple is high and steep, and the scorching sun is in the sky at 11 o'clock at noon, and the high temperature scorches the burning mountain forest. "The temperature is too high, and there are sparks under the ash in many places, although there are no flames, in fact, they are still burning, and they are easy to re-ignite when the wind blows, so we need to patrol 24 hours a day, and once we find a fireworks point, we will immediately clear the fire and extinguish the smoke. The villagers who patrolled told reporters.

Cao Benfu, a villager from Daxin Village, stood at the highest point on the top of Beiyin Mountain, vigilantly observing his surroundings. "This is the highest point, we stand here to observe where there is smoke, once found, we will notify the nearby patrol team to deal with the fireworks in a timely manner, today there are fewer smoke points, yesterday there are more, more than 80 in a day. Cao Benfu told reporters that although the fireworks have decreased, they still dare not relax their vigilance and observe the surrounding situation at any time.

Just as the reporter was interviewing, a shout came from the woods, "There is an open fire here, come quickly." Then the reporter followed Gu Na, a cadre from Daxin Village, into the dense forest to look for the fire point. Following Gu Na down the steep slope, the trees have been scorched, some trunks have been burned, and there are traces left by the wildfires everywhere, and the grass and trees on the ground are about 10 centimeters thick. Walking through the scorched bushes and seeing two fire points, Cao Benfu was covering the soil and burying it, and Gu Na hurriedly doused the fire with water. After the treatment, the reporter followed the villagers to prepare to go out of the forest, and Gu Na, who was walking in front, shouted, "There is an open fire here, I have no water, send the water down quickly...... The reporter followed Gu Na's voice, the flames have burned the surrounding branches, Gu Na quickly lit the fire with branches, and other team members also quickly rushed over to assist, shoveling soil, cutting branches, lighting fire, watering...... In a short time, the surrounding three embers were extinguished.

At 12 noon, the villagers returned to the rest point for a short rest. During the break, there was a smoke point on the opposite mountain, and the team leader quickly organized 6 villagers to pack buckets and water bags into the mountain for treatment. When I went to the scene, the open fire had burned a small area, and the villagers quickly extinguished the fire with water cannons, and carried out cooling and soil covering. "This is a relatively large ember, and generally only sporadic flames are found, and if you don't deal with it quickly, a large piece will be burned in a short time. Villagers told reporters.

As an old village cadre in Daxin Village, he has special feelings for every grass, tree, branch and leaf on the mountain. "The mountain fire is ruthless, but people are affectionate, I believe that with our efforts, with the efforts of our children and grandchildren, the green mountains here will definitely come back.
