The southernmost province of Ca Mau is undertaking extensive
measures to prevent fires in the U Minh Ha National Park with the dry
season in for a while.
The Park, with 8,527 hectares, has been put on the high alert of large-scale forest fires.
Prolonged dry weather and sunshine creates drought in forests and hinders firefighters from extinguishing blazes.
The local authorities have requested the building of two dams and installed more water pipes to facilitate supply for stamping out fires. They have also invested money to equip more fire fighters.
Fire watch teams and emergency response units have been arranged at the park, especially in dry season, to keep track of potential forest fire areas and detect fire outbreaks swiftly, thus stopping them from getting out of control.
The authorities of U Minh, Tran Van Thoi and Thoi Binh districts, which have most area of forest coverage, have organised campaigns to teach local people the procedures they need to stop fires spreading.
Thanks the locality’s efforts, no forest fire has been reported in the U Minh National Park in recent years.-VNA
