FIRE IN THE FOREST IS DISASTER

Forest fires are a natural phenomenon and a natural disaster for the natural world and for people. Forest fire destroys the forest sometimes in very large areas, destroys the ecological system of the forest, destroys many animals, birds, insects. In the same way as forest fires, steppe fires that destroy the steppe nature are dangerous and destructive. After a forest fire, the forest can be restored for decades, and the full restoration of all natural wealth may take centuries. First, the burnt undergrowth is restored, then the turn comes to re-grow the cover of trees. Whether all kinds of plants and animals will be able to recover here is a big question. In this regard, it is necessary to remember several simple fire safety rules in forests. Do not make bonfires under the crowns of trees, in coniferous young trees, in areas of windfall and windbreak, in areas with last year’s grass. Do not throw rubbish in the forest and resting areas. Collect garbage after yourself in bags and leave them in their designated places on the way home. Before leaving, fill the fire with water until the cessation of combustion and fill it with earth from the mineralized strip. It is especially necessary to be attentive to the implementation of these simple rules for those who travel to nature with children. If we, adults, on vacation with children 3-4 times do the right thing, we are convinced that the children will remember this for their whole lives, they won’t break it, and they won’t let others do it. And then you don’t have to, before you relax, push piles of plastic bottles and bags into the nearby bushes.
