Strictly control people entering and exiting, strengthen forest fire prevention and control in Quyet mountain area.

Faced with the risk of forest fires during the hot season, the Forest Rangers are increasing monitoring and patrolling, proactively taking fire prevention and fighting measures to protect forests and ensure the safety of residential areas.

Quyet Mountain area, Trung Do ward (Vinh city), welcomes a large number of visitors every day, while the vegetation here is still dense, posing a high risk of forest fires, especially when some tourists bring fire.

In order to proactively prevent and fight fires, a pumping station has been built here to bring water from Lam River to 3 tanks with a capacity of 80 - 120m³.

This system always ensures that water is ready to handle any incident. In addition, 50 water hydrants are installed throughout the area, ready in case of fire.

In particular, around the mountainous forest area, 3 checkpoints have been set up to control people entering and leaving. Here, the Forest Rangers and functional units are on duty continuously, strictly controlling the bringing of fire and flammable objects into the forest.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Thang - Head of Vinh City Forest Protection Department - Cua Lo said: "Right from the beginning of the hot season, the Forest Protection force coordinated with the Trung Do ward organizations to clear the undergrowth under the pine forest canopy and at the mausoleums. Many areas have signs prohibiting the burning of votive paper to raise people's awareness."

However, in the Quyết mountain area, the area treated with vegetation is still very limited, only reaching 5/50 hectares. The treatment work is mainly concentrated in some key locations such as the Quang Trung Emperor Temple area, Vinh Weather Radar Station, 5 mausoleums and residential areas. The remaining area is almost untreated, still has flammable vegetation, so the risk of forest fires in the hot season is very high.

In order to reduce the risk of forest fires in the Quyet mountain area, the Forest Rangers have coordinated with local authorities and relevant sectors to increase patrols, guard and strictly control people who bring fire sources into the forest.

Monitoring work is maintained regularly, especially during prolonged hot weather, contributing to the protection of special-use forests as well as important cultural and historical relics in the Quyết mountain area.
