A few days ago, different degrees of forest fire occurred in Spain, the United States, France and other places.

For the past few days, Portugal has been encountered in rare high temperature, which led to the rapid spread of mountain forest fires in the central and northern parts and difficulties. As of now, the fire has killed 1 person and many people were injured.

On the 10th local time, the Portuguese civil defense department stated that on the same day they received a report of up to 32 forest fires.

U.S. U.S. National Park Mountain Fire continues

Endog of 500 giant Sequoia

Recently, the mountain fires near the United States Shengmei National Park continued to spread, endangering about 500 giant rubies in the park. According to US media reports, more than 360 firefighters and more than ten helicopters are participating in fire extinguishing.

Giant Sequoia grows mostly on the west slope of the Nevada Mountains in California. The tree is 100 meters high. It is the largest tree in the world. Some big trees have more than 3,000 years old. In the past two years, about 20%of the giant shallow trees have been burned by mountain fires.

French mountain fire over the fire area of ​​1000 hectares

Located in the province of Gade in southern France, a large area of ​​mountain fire occurred recently, and the current local fire area has reached 1,000 hectares. As of the 9th, the mountain fire was controlled to a certain extent, but it has not been extinguished, and hundreds of firefighters have been deployed at the fire scene. According to French media reports, the occurrence of mountain fire is closely related to climate factors. Since the beginning of this year, the precipitation accumulation in several areas in southeast France is extremely low, and the vegetation is in a dry state. In addition, high temperature and heavy winds can easily erupt large -scale mountain fires. Eric Brokadi, a spokesman for the French Firefighters Federation, said that when the local temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the wind speed exceeds 30 kilometers per hour, and the humidity is less than 30%, the probability of the mountain fire is extremely high. The province of Garde still meets the above climate conditions on the 9th, and the emergency service department has strengthened monitoring to prevent new fire points. It is reported that since the 7th, 60 fire points have been found in Gede Province.

The fire commander participating in the fire extinguishing said on the 9th that the mountain fire has been controlled to a certain extent, and most of the mountain fires with the fire point have been extinguished. However, due to the unfavorable local weather conditions, there are still several fire points that are still burning. Hundreds of firefighters are still deployed at the fire scene in order to timely invest in fire extinguishing work. By the previous two days, nearly a thousand firefighters had fired fire in the Sennis region.

Analysts pointed out that due to climate change and high temperature weather, the French mountain fire season this year has earlier than previous years, and the frequency and intensity of the fire have increased. With the arrival of a new round of high temperature weather, a serious forest fire may occur in other parts of France this summer. In this regard, Brcatadi said that the air fire protection force is currently deployed and the training of firefighters is stepping up to have more flexible response to the mountain fire that occurs throughout France. Some experts said that in addition to improving the people's awareness of fire prevention in the forest area, the best way to avoid serious forest fires in France is to step up climate change.
