Strengthen propaganda and education to raise awareness and responsibility in forest fire prevention and control. At the same time, inspect, urge and guide the control of people's use of fire in and near forests, especially slash-and-burn farming activities, temporarily stop using fire to treat vegetation; strictly handle acts of using fire that can cause forest fires during peak periods when the risk of forest fires is high.

Organize on-duty shifts, assign forces to be on duty 24/7 during hot weather; arrange checkpoints, patrol and guard in key areas prone to forest fires, strictly control people entering and exiting forest areas at high risk of fire (Mrs. Hoang Thi Loan's Tomb, King Mai Hac De's Tomb, Quyet Mountain Forest Park, Cuong Temple Area...); promptly detect fire spots, mobilize forces to participate in controlling and extinguishing forest fires in the shortest time, not allowing large fires to occur; strictly implement the reporting regime, ensure completeness, accuracy, and timeliness to serve the direction, operation and organization of timely and effective fire prevention and control.

When a forest fire occurs, the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the District, City or Town People's Committee must be present at the scene to directly direct, mobilize forces, means, logistics and command fire fighting according to the approved plan. For forests near residential areas and warehouses, when a fire occurs, it is necessary to proactively have a plan to evacuate people from dangerous areas, and take measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the forces participating in forest fire fighting.

After extinguishing the fire, local authorities are requested to direct relevant agencies to urgently investigate, determine the cause and perpetrator of the fire, and strictly handle violators according to regulations./.
