As the heat is on the rise, fires are spreading in many places. Fires in vacant fields pose a greater threat. Burning garbage in paddy fields that have been lying unused for years and fire spreading from that has become a regular occurrence. Major accidents are avoided due to timely interventions of the fire force. Occasional winds and high daytime temperatures are the culprits.

Fires in buildings are mainly caused by short circuits. Most accidents are caused by negligence. Careless burning of garbage, and rashly throwing away cigarette butts, and matchsticks often cause fires. It is more likely to spread in windy areas with dry grass. Some anti-socials deliberately create accidents as well. As it is very hot during the day, a small spark is enough to ignite all the garbage and dried leaves. Many people burn garbage at noon. The fire can spread dangerously if there is even a small wind at that time.

Can be prevented if you pay attention

• Clean the forested areas
• Keep water nearby before burning garbage
• Make sure that the fire is completely extinguished
• Do not burn large piles of garbage together
• Do not keep items like petrol near the house
• The main switch should be switched off when leaving the house
• Avoid parking vehicles in the sun

Limitations of Fire Force

Areas that cannot be reached by fire brigade vehicles, if there is a fire in large dry forests standing tall in paddy fields, and simultaneous fires in different locations are challenges.

Care should also be taken about vehicles

Vehicles can also catch fire in summer. Drying of battery cells may cause short circuits. Avoid the car getting pressurized when parking in sunny areas. Lowering the window glass can reduce the heat inside.

Many people take the fire for granted when burning garbage. All it takes is a little carelessness to start a fire and cause damage. Leave the place only after the fire is completely extinguished.
