The Central Highlands province of Dak Lak has urged districts and forest owners to take all necessary measures to prevent forest fires with the impending dry season.
The province has more than 507,000 hectares of forest, nearly 300,000 of which are particularly vulnerable to bushfire attack and require special attention.
Dak Lak has established 82 forest development units and 580 forest protection teams at the local level, as well as educated ethnic minority families living near or inside the forests on how to prevent wildfires, remove flammable objects and stimulate forest growth.
Hundreds kilometers of fire prevention lanes, a number of fire watch towers, and fire prevention signs were established and reinforced.
Watchers have also been posted on 24-hour lookout duty.
Furthermore, inspection teams were sent to examine district and forest owner capability in preventing wildfires.
No wildfires have been reported in the locality thus far this season.-VNA
