In connection with the approaching spring-summer fire hazard period, the probability of ignition of dry grassy plants increases. Most fires are caused by uncontrolled burning of dry grass.
In most cases, fires are extinguished not by specialists, but by the population without observing fire safety rules, which require material costs, which leads to the spread of fires to populated areas, economic facilities, forest lands. During a fire, people die and lose their homes, natural resources and material values ​​are senselessly lost, smoke appears, suppressing cities and villages, which is impossible to get rid of.
Such misfortunes are caused by the wrong opinion that it is useful to burn dry plants at the dacha - they accelerate the growth of young grass. Few people believe that with the arrival of spring for millions of years, green grasses grew beautifully, without burning them by human hands. On the contrary, we cause significant damage to nature by burning dry grass. The natural process of humus formation is disrupted, thereby reducing soil fertility. After fires, grasses survive, and the first to sprout are the most common grasses, a variety of weeds. During a fire, insects are destroyed, including plant pollinators, nesting sites and mats of birds living on the ground are burned. When grass is burned, beneficial soil microorganisms die, including those that help plants resist diseases. In a strong grass fire, almost all mammals living in the grass or on the soil surface die from the fire or suffocate from the smoke.

Another reason for the mass punishments in our republic is the confidence not only in their usefulness, but also in their safety. According to forecasts, a runaway land fire that penetrates the forest territory in early spring will pass without damage to the forest fund. However, it should be noted that the fire can hide in stumps and dead wood and cause new forest fires in the summer, when the temperature rises. At the same time, I draw the attention of residents of the region to the uncontrolled burning of dry grass, the burning can spread both to forest protection plantations and to residential and commercial buildings, which can cause significant material damage. as harm to the health of citizens. Administrative liability is provided for these violations.
So be vigilant, do not let last year's garbage and dry grass catch fire, it will not affect anyone, everyone can become a victim of their own negligence.
