On-site forces in Co Long hamlet, Long Luong commune practice forest fire fighting.

The practice part took place in Co Long hamlet, Long Luong commune, including three stages: before the forest fire broke out, when the forest fire broke out, and concluding fire fighting and fixing the consequences. The hypothetical situation was that households, in the process of burning fields, subjectively made the fire catch a hut and regenerated forest in an area with dangerous and extremely dangerous fire levels. They shouted for a number of surrounding households to help put out the fire. However, dry weather combined with strong winds caused the fire to spread.
