Check the humidity at the foot of the forest of U Minh National Park in the morning of April 15.
At noon April 15, the sudden rain lasted about 10:30 a.m. to 13 p.m., helping to cool down the hot sun on the forest stands of U Minh low-cut cajuput forest.
It is also a rare unseasonal rain from the beginning of the dry season 2020-2021 up to now in Ca Mau. Rain lowers the hot summer noon heat, increases humidity and adds a significant amount of water to canals and ditches in the forest stand of Ca Mau Melaleuca forest. But according to the force that is directly in charge of the “fire watch” task in the dry season, the off-season rain often has lightning that causes the forest fire, but it is very difficult to fight the fire and extinguish the fire, because the tree trunk and leaves have been cleared of dust.
The possibility of lightning causing fire is also a concern of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People’s Council of Ca Mau province Nguyen Tien Hai, during a visit to the inspection of forest fire prevention and fighting (FPF) in the forest stand of U Minh Ha Melaleuca forest. on the morning of April 15.
Talking with forest owners in U Minh, Provincial Party Secretary cited many fires caused by lightning at the beginning of the rainy season. Therefore, the forest owners must not ignore and lose their guard against the early rains of the season. “Fire is caused by humans, we can be prevented by good control, but due to lightning, we can only detect it in time to extinguish, prevent big fires from happening” – Secretary of the Ca Mau Provincial Party Committee noted and requested the ” forest owners ”need to be more professional in forest management and protection. Specifically, in 2022, at all costs, the forest management and protection units in U Minh must install specialized cameras (magic eyes), and at the same time purchase unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring and management. forest management and protection, as well as forest fire prevention and fighting.
Out-of-season rain increases the risk of fire in the stand of Ca Mau Melaleuca forest.
Up to the present time, the entire forest stand of Ca Mau Melaleuca forest has been drought, the risk of forest fire at any time. Among them, level IV fire alarms (dangerous level) are more than 19,480 ha and grade V (extremely dangerous level) is nearly 8,000 ha, accounting for more than 61% of the total area of the stand.
Areas with level 5 fire alarm forests are concentrated in: The Melaleuca forest part of U Minh Ha Forestry Company Limited; U Minh Ha National Park; Ca Mau Agricultural Seed Center; The wartime headquarters of the Military Command of Ca Mau province; forest stand in the communes of Nguyen Phich, Khanh An, Khanh Lam, Khanh Thuan … of U Minh district. The most worrying of forest owners is that the heat continues to be fierce, causing water under canals to evaporate faster, and there is a possibility that there will be a shortage of fire fighting water if a big fire occurs in some areas of the forest stand of Ca Mau Melaleuca forest.
