Plan Fire
As you know, our region is situated in the steppe zone. However, the nature of the Volgograd region has a wide diversity of species of flora and fauna. Many unique places such as Blue Mountain in Zhirnovsky, Lake Elton and the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, has once again confirmed this. One of the most important factor in the destruction of the environment is a devastating human impact. And one of its manifestations – the fires. One of the fires of 2006 year, which occurred in Kalachevskyi area, as it turned out, there was a fault of the person. Standard situation: a farmer, not wanting to spend money on organizing the export of straw from his field, he decided to burn it.
The fire spread to the belts and the surrounding area. And there to pine array was at hand. Although in order to avoid fire and at the same time save money, it is only necessary to plow a strip of land along the perimeter of the burned area. Another cause of the fire – an uncontrolled burning of illegal dumping. The mechanism of spread is the same. According to the Forestry Administration of the Volgograd region in 2006, our region was 112 forest fires, including those caused by man – 80%. This year was already seven fires, though the fire season has just begun. Destroyed over 23 hectares of forest plantations.
At the briefing the press club representatives from the Forestry reported on steps taken to prepare for fire season 2007. First of all, prepared and approved by all necessary regulations, including the "Action Plan to prepare for fire season and organizing forest fire in 2007, "as well as the disposal of the head of the regional administration, NK Maksyuta "On measures to strengthen the protection of forests from fires in 2007." Secondly, in April, based on Archedinskogo Forestry College, held regional trainings. Were worked out jointly with local authorities, emergency, organizations and public action to extinguish the fire. In addition, despite the lack of funding, prepared for the new fire season, and material-technical base of forestry. Much attention is paid to preventive work with the community. The aim – to form a responsible attitude to environmental environment. In many ways, this helps the involvement of local communities in the creation and reconstruction of vegetation. As part of the labor of patriotic watch, devoted to 65th anniversary of Victory in the Battle of Stalingrad, as well as regional action "Volgograd region – clean, well-developed area," Department of Forestry and its structural divisions took part in the greening works in the region, actively engaging that residents of the area. Now foresters to help 43 school forest of over a thousand people. Despite the fact that the proportion of newly planted areas compared to the burnt-out small enough, such work is still conducted. Fires make their adjustments. Thus, the thing of the past practice of monoculture, the planting area when, for example, only pine. Now such plantations "diluted" by other species, to reduce the risk of fire in the array. And yet, it is worth remembering that the effectiveness of prevention will be reduced to zero, if not careful and responsible attitude to the nature of their native land. on. Believe in the word to someone who lives at the very outskirts, where no more than a kilometer to the pine in the array. Or rather, to what is left of it.
