Tips to avoid fires
Here are suggestions for avoiding fire risks:
- Do not use fire without obtaining a controlled burn permit, which will not be granted during this period.
- Do not burn pruning debris, trash, stubble and land weeds.
- Take precautionary measures on each property to the extent you can, such as: fire roads; clearing fences, building reservoirs; availability of fighting elements (shovels, whips, machetes, etc.); and swimming pools, or water tanks filled year round, as this Seed water reserves are critical in the event of fire.
- Under no circumstances should a lit match be thrown into the countryside, forests or wooded areas, remember that most fires are started and occur due to a lack of caution.
- Do not build campfires; they can only be carried out in places authorized for this purpose (campsites, complexes, campsites).
- Under no circumstances should a fire be lit under a tree, not only because it represents a fire hazard, but also because the heat can cause damage to the plant (a living organism).
- Keep in mind that wind can spread small campfires and cause fires.
- Never throw cigarette butts into fields.
- If a fire breaks out in the grass, as long as the fire is not too severe, extinguish the flames by hitting them with a blanket or bag (wet if possible).
