“Believe that after this There will be wildfires like this continuously!”
The above phrase belongs to "Chatchai Thaikla", the director of the Fire Training Institute.
and Advanced Rescue Tafta, a firefighter who extinguishes forest fires.
with instructions for extinguishing forest fires
Happened at Khao Laem - Khao Cha Pool, Nakhon Nayok Province
Mr. Chatchai said that a student had gone to the area to extinguish the forest fire.
As for him, he always followed the news.
Which is reported to have spread towards the Royal Military Academy of the Royal Thai Police. Initially, what to do is
1. Fire Barrier
by clearing or using a tractor
to spread to prevent the fire from spreading to the building as a fire prevention line
2. Use a partial burning method,
for example, if there is an area near the village.
We burned some of the forest with a fire truck nearby.
Because when we burn 10-20 meters before the fire arrives, it cannot spread. The important thing is that we have a fire truck under control.
“Flying to extinguish forest fires
may not be effective
because sometimes it has already been extinguished
But some points are still stuck.
And most importantly, burning is sometimes a matter of people's way of life.
That use this method to hunt birds, frogs, chipmunks, while the forest that has been burned for less than 3 weeks, it starts to grow again.
Especially soft grass, then the deer will come back because even if there is a forest fire.
But the forest did not die.
Master Firefighter
Revealing the fact that wildfires sometimes do not happen because of nature alone.
Maybe it's from human hands.
Sometimes we're on a flying helicopter, we can see it down, it's burning, but it's hard to do anything.
Because it's his way of life, so what needs to be done is that local people, especially Sub-district Administrative Organizations and municipalities must understand with the people.
and if you start to see smoke
able to extinguish
should act immediately, especially the "watershed forest" must take good care of it
“How will this year be dry?
Next year, the drought is heavier.
Next year, until the dam is dry, if not properly maintained, this is what Ajarn Seri Supharathit, a climate change guru, told me.
We too have been working with him for 20 years, so we have to prepare well.”
The dangers of extinguishing forest fires: 5 things you need to know
Chatchai said that the officials would walk in to extinguish the forest fire.
Make that fire line
It's very dangerous.
If there is no body of knowledge
have the right to die
May be exposed to smoke
Therefore, the first thing to do is
1. The entrance and exit
must be clear. There are 2 routes that would be good. For example, if it is a flat forest, sugar cane forest, and grass forest, walking in must find a rope, flag, or loincloth to tie the tree clearly.
2. Fire engines must not turn their heads in.
have to step in
because when it's time
will be ejected immediately
3. If there is technology to help such as
drones, it will increase safety.
4. How to extinguish forest fires I won't use water to inject.
But it will be used to dig the soil and cover it, so to extinguish a forest fire in the American way, he will give only a shovel and a rake, each standing 10 meters apart, using a rake to remove grass.
blocking the fire
May use a rubber slap.
As for the water, it will look like a backpacker.
I won't take it in a lot.
5. There must be support in the command point.
especially food supplies
because the firefighters were in that area
need help
Some people have wounds, injuries, sick, ambulance must be ready.
“The most important thing to support is water because rescue firefighters lose a lot of water in their bodies. The forest fire hasn't been extinguished, it's not a problem. First of all, we have to survive. Because at the time of the great wildfire in the United States There were 30,000 - 40,000 people joining in extinguishing the fire and still couldn't handle it. We have already gone. Conversely, if it's ours, there are 100-200 people, the equipment is not ready yet. If I would recommend it, it is better to defend and defend better.”
The whole mountain fire could not be extinguished. It could only be defended and made a fireproof line.
Mr. Chatchai exclaimed that the entire mountain was on fire.
what can we do
In addition to defensive
because it is difficult to extinguish
It is important that we read the direction of the fire.
to protect different areas
especially government offices
We may use water to sprinkle various buildings.
If the building is still wet
and the building was cement.
no problem
vice versa if the building is wooden
and loosen the hydrocarbon, the light will come on, but if the wood is still wet
Does not emit hydrocarbons
believed that the fire did not spread
while building
Prepare the water in the sprinkler.
Water arrives and sprays
Except, it will be used by the Navy's C-130, C-Nook, and CL-415 aircraft.
Helps to spread water and chemicals
While using H. to water the fire.
viewed as protection
support the situation
but will have that effect
There must be a process that is really done because using H. will be able to use about 600-800 liters of water, some of which are panting.
when watering
become some steam
Some left at the wrong point, the wind blows some, but if the C-130 can carry 12 tons, but it is a security plane, it will get 3,000 liters.
Ear lobes are hot..must take a leap
Forest fire extinguishing officer sense
A firefighter over 70 years old with a lot of experience in the battlefield explains that
the fire suit is different from the building fire, because the fire suit sometimes does not wear a mask.
Therefore, the observation that should stay or not.
To measure the heat of the ear lobe, called if the “hot lobe” is about 60-70 degrees Celsius, it is enough to retreat, or if someone cheeky may come a little closer, but if the “ear lobe” is thinner than the face
fire suit of forest firefighters
It's just a thick canvas
Because if wearing a very thick dress
will make you sweat a lot
You may faint and faint, so just wear a smoke mask, wear a mask.
“The officers who go in will sweat a lot. need to drink a lot of water One person consumes at least 5-10 liters of water. Barely pee at all Because it goes with sweat. In addition, you also need to drink mineral water.
What we do is make a line to prevent further burning.
or burn important places
It's not that I don't do anything.
It's just that the situation sometimes arises.
To extinguish it would be difficult.
important support
effect on extinguishing fire
At the end, Mr. Chatchai mentioned what he would like to recommend, which is the country's forest fire extinguishing plan.
It is necessary to practice or if in some SAO areas where there is a random risk, having 10-20 temporary water tanks set up is still good because when there is a problem
will send people to various locations
“The most important thing at the time of the incident is to go in and extinguish the fire.
Who will pay...
Because all work requires money.
use support
People who go in have to eat, just the cost of food, how much equipment costs, and importantly, it has not been declared a disaster area yet.
I still can't use the budget.
In the past, I had written a plan that
The nation must be prepared. The important thing is to build a strong community.
If the community is strong, they can help each other because in the past there was no PWA, villagers could still help each other.
to study in the United States
Still have to use their own capital. The important thing is that the new generation is not interested in this matter.
Because what we are going to teach is that we must let them know the importance of trees, not necessarily patriotism.
love the land
just love nature
Help each other take care of the forest, plant some forests, make waterways, turn the area into a siphon.
But in our house we cut wood only.
We have to help build a strong community.” Director of the Fire Training Institute
and senior rescue, Tafta said.
