After firefighters ignited the willow catkins accumulated on the ground, the catkins burned out within a few seconds.
The firefighters suggested that the streets with willow catkins flying should be sprinkled regularly and the willow catkins piled up on the ground should be cleaned regularly. People who smoke should not throw cigarette butts at will. They should also educate the children in the family not to play with fire or light the catkins because of curiosity. Catkins.
