FIELD: fire-fighting, particularly immediate forest fire extinguishment without the use of counterfire, water, chemical agents and mechanisms. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves beginning fire extinguishment from fire site from inner edge side thereof towards fire front usually in wind direction so that workers are out of smoke spreading zone for a long time and are prevented from being caught by fire. At the beginning of fire extinguishment workers beats back fire from burning ground litter, stumps and fallen trees with branches. Then remainder smoking areas are covered with earth by means of spades. After that workers inspect extinguished areas and locations outside fire site edge. If workers are sure that fire is fully suppressed they may leave extinguished fire site. ^ EFFECT: decreased time of fire suppression, reduced forest fire areas and possibility to conserve forest ecosystem. ^ 1 dwg |
