In view of the lack of effective precipitation in many places in western and southern Sichuan and the continuous high-risk fire warnings issued since March, the Sichuan Forest Fire Corps conducted advance research and judgment on the fire prevention and disaster prevention situation based on meteorological, fire danger, and disaster warning and forecast information, combined with the distribution of stations and forest fire stations. For the construction situation, a combination of fixed forest fire stations, temporary forest fire stations, and mobile forest fire stations for patrolling and troubleshooting was adopted, and professional fire fighting teams, semi-professional fire fighting teams, and rural emergency teams were coordinated respectively when entering the mountains. Checkpoints are set up at entrances and forest cemeteries. In high-risk fire areas, "3 vehicles and 17 people" equipped with fire-extinguishing modules are used for mobile patrol inspections. In case of fire hazards, light fast-reaction forest fire water trucks are used as soon as possible to deal with and extinguish the fire hazards. Nip hidden dangers in the bud.

In Aba Prefecture, on the basis of focusing on the investigation of fire hazards in nature reserves such as Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong and Gonggangling, the forest firefighting team went to the Jinchuan enterprise production base to inspect the water storage situation of forest fire prevention water in the mining area, investigate line hazards, etc., and provide information on recent fire prevention The situation was explained to the workers in the mining area, reminding them to prevent fire first and pay close attention to safety during construction.
In Ganzi Prefecture, forest firefighting is coordinated with on-site emergency response and forestry and grassland departments to integrate fire prevention and extinguishing forces, rationally allocate personnel, divide task areas, formulate patrol routes, and conduct drone aerial inspections and "3 vehicles and 17 people" focused inspections. , interception and strict inspection of mountain forest entrances, etc., to overcome shortcomings such as the difficulty in identifying forest and grassland fire hazards caused by the vast territory, remote mountains and forests, and lack of strength.

In key fire-risk areas such as checkpoints, humidification operations were carried out for 7.8 kilometers in key areas as appropriate, effectively reducing fire risks. At the same time, drones are used to record vegetation distribution characteristics and combustible loads in forest areas, and mark nearby available water sources and traffic roads to improve emergency response capabilities in response to fire hazards.
