METHOD OF DETERMINING LOCATION OF FOREST FIRE

摘要

FIELD: fire-fighting means.SUBSTANCE: method relates to the field of forestry and can be used to determine the location of forest fire. The method of establishing the location of forest fire comprises identification of the most fire-hazard plots of peat lands and location of vertical wells on the area of plots. The perforated pipes are placed in the wells. The pipes are filled with smoke generating pyrotechnic composition, the granulometric material is poured into the wellheads. The coordinates of the wells are recorded on the forest fire map. The patrol routes are divided, patrol observation of smoke is carried out. The boundaries of the fire are determined by the smoke location over the wells. The coordinates of the smoke location are recorded on the forest fire map. The granulometric material is mixed with encapsulated herbicide glyphosate powder in an amount of 5-15% by weight of the granulometric material, and then the mixture is poured to the wellheads.EFFECT: proposed method in comparison with the analogue provides enhancement of accuracy of determining location of the forest fire by processing the filling of wellhead with glyphosate eliminating vegetation and retaining high intensity of smoke generation during continuous operation of wells.
