"Pay attention to falling wood and advance in parallel." As soon as he entered the fire, Wang Zhidong, the captain of the Mounted Police Brigade of the Forestry Public Security Bureau in the north of Daxing'anling, Inner Mongolia, ordered four teammates to quickly find their place and cooperate with each other. "After confirming safety, accept When I came down, I walked up on my head, looking for the burning tree."
On the 16th, Wang Zhidong told reporters that they were people who looked up and walked and looked up at the fire.
From July 12th to 13th, 21 forest fires broke out in the north of the Greater Xing'an Mountains forest area in Inner Mongolia, 10 of which occurred in the virgin forest area in the north.
According to the lightning monitoring briefing report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a total of 991 cloud-to-ground flashes were detected from 8:00 on the 12th to 8:00 on the 13th, resulting in a concentrated explosion of lightning and fire. But how to finally determine the cause of the fire requires a forest fire investigation.
Due to the continuous outbreak of fire, since July 5th, the number of civilian police stationed in the northern primitive forest public security bureau of the Uma Frontline Command has increased from 4 to 16 policemen.
On the afternoon of the 14th, 21 forest fires in the northern part of the Greater Xing'an Mountains forest area of Inner Mongolia were completely enclosed. Wang Zhidong and his four teammates immediately went to the 34 Linban Fire Field in the Yimu River Forest Farm to investigate the cause of the fire.
The fire site was on the high mountain beside the gravel road. It had just been raining. A few tens of meters away from the gravel road. Wang Zhidong led the team to the fire quickly. Looking out, the dark ground, tree roots, and tree tops were still green. The branches form a stark contrast.
Wang Zhidong told reporters that years of experience in fire investigations told him that Yangpo and Erli (half mountainside) are often the points of fire caused by lightning strikes.
"Sure enough, on a hillside half way across the Yangpo, we saw two Pinus sylvestris struck by lightning." Wang Zhidong said.
"Continue to advance in parallel along the fire line and circle the fire field to see if there are other lightning strikes." Wang Zhidong said that the circle of fire field is to hold a GPS along the fire line and continue positioning during the period to finally determine the location and area of the fire field.
On the steep hillside, the five policemen were evenly distributed along the fire lines on both sides and advanced in parallel. In the dense forest covered with trees and ash, Wang Zhidong and his colleagues were all gray and sweaty for nearly two hours of trekking, and their hands were also blackened by branches.
After the circle of fire, everyone came to the lightning strike wood again and began to investigate and collect evidence.
"Look, there is a straight line where the bark of the two trees is shot down. This is a straight line." Wang Zhidong said that the most difficult to find is this straight line. Sometimes it is necessary to walk back and forth in the fire. Only to find out.
"After the fire, get up at 3 a.m. every day, and rush to the fire site before it gets hot. In the mountains, the water is the most precious. Keep the water with you, drink it bit by bit, don’t throw the mineral water bottle. Drink when the river is full and fill it up," Wang Zhidong said.
The police of the Mounted Police Brigade of the Forest Public Security Bureau in the primitive forest area of the northern Daxingan Mountains in Inner Mongolia said: "We went to the fire site yesterday for 30 to 40 kilometers on foot. We started at 3 am and returned at 11 pm."
"Most of the fires in the primitive forest area have no roads. We have to go to the fire by plane. The round-trip time is uncertain. The longest time. Our team members waited for 8 days at the fire and finally walked on foot with the forest fire squad. Come out." Teammate Bai Aozile told reporters.
It was late at the end of the fire investigation and returned to the Uma front headquarters. Two stews, buns and rice. The team members hurriedly ate dinner and hurried back to the dormitory to rest. At 3 a.m. the next day, they will go to another three Fire scene... (End)
