Question

Suggest few measures to prevent forest fires?

Answer 1

Tools that you use to manage weeds, cut grass and trim trees are all capable of starting fires. You should always keep a safe distance from trees and dry grass when using tools that produce sparks, such as grinders and metal-cutting saws. All gasoline-powered tools, such as weed whackers, chainsaws, lawn mowers and electric generators, should have spark arrestors, which are screens that prevent the emission of sparks from the exhaust outlets. Be careful never to spill fuel or oil in the forest, and when driving in dry forest terrain, keep your vehicle on the road. This specifically applies to all-terrain vehicles, which some people assume are safe to drive through a dry forest. They aren't; the heat from the exhaust can ignite grass and brush.
