In recent years, forest fires frequently occur in different parts of the world due to the global temperature rise, causing greater human and material losses.
Our country is also exposed to such danger.
Most of the DPRK’s territory is mountainous and therefore, it directs big efforts to the protection of forests and takes timely measures to prevent forest fires in advance in particular.
It is necessary to intensify the education of inhabitants in mountainous areas and enhance the sense of responsibility of forest rangers.
The practice of violating the regulations and order of entering in mountains should never be allowed among the mountain goers.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to set up fixed monitoring posts in areas where overall forests can be monitored, reinforce and deploy mobile monitoring posts, establish a well-regulated fire monitoring system and conduct an effective work for the normal operation of surveillance cameras.
It is more important to enhance the responsibility and role of the fire prevention coordination teams in each region, allocate competent personnel to fire prevention panels and establish a well-regulated fire information system.
Institutions and enterprises should reinforce forest rangers and patrolmen in charge of forests to take preventive measures against the occurrence of forest fires and carefully repair and maintain firebreaks, stone-dike barriers and catchment sites effectively before the forest fire risk season comes.
Forest firefighting forces should be reinforced and vehicles and firefighting equipment be fully provided to make thorough preparations for immediately extinguishing fire in case a forest fire breaks out.
It is necessary to have regular access to forest fire monitoring information service system and put up forest fire protection signs and notice phone numbers in a concentrated manner along the roads near forests and entrance to them.
