(Baonghean.vn) - To be proactive in forest fire prevention and control, the Nam Dan Special-Use Forest Management Board has invested in purchasing 4 Japanese brand specialized shoulder-mounted blowers for forest fire fighting, worth 100 million VND.

Nam Dan Special Use Forest Management Board manages over 4,000 hectares of pine forest, and the risk of forest fires is very high during the hot season. To be proactive in fire prevention and control, Nam Dan Special Use Forest Management Board has invested in additional blowers to assist in fire fighting.

The function of this blower is similar to a high-pressure fan, integrated with a gasoline engine used in forestry with a speed of 7,000 rpm. The forest fire blower can extinguish fires on the ground, with a flame height of 2.5 m. The blower is quite effective in extinguishing forest fires that often occur in places with complex terrain, steep slopes, far from water sources, and difficult traffic.

And try on the anti-suffocation device

The above 4 wind blowers were provided to communes with many pine forests, including Nam Giang commune with 1, Nam Hung commune with 2, and Khanh Son commune with 1. Thus, in Nam Dan area, there are over 20 wind blowers serving forest fire fighting.

It is known that the Nam Dan Special Use Forest Management Board is building a fire watchtower in Nam Linh commune worth 800 million VND, which will be put into use in the upcoming hot season.
