The Role of Forest Weather Stations in Forest Fire Prevention and Control

In the vast forest, multiple forest weather stations are distributed within it. These weather stations are equipped with high - precision sensors for temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, and solar radiation.


During the critical period of forest fire prevention, especially in the dry seasons of spring and autumn, the weather stations play a huge role. For example, a forest weather station has monitored that the relative air humidity has been below 30% for a consecutive week, while the temperature has continuously risen above 25 °C, and the wind speed has also been steadily at 3 - 5 meters per second. Such dry, high - temperature, and windy weather conditions have greatly increased the risk of forest fires.


The local forest fire prevention department, based on the data from the weather stations, has strengthened the patrol efforts in the forest area and strictly prohibited all outdoor fire - using activities. At the same time, the meteorological data are shared with surrounding forestry enterprises and residents to remind them to make fire prevention preparations, such as clearing flammable materials around houses.


When a small - scale fire was triggered by a lightning strike, the real - time wind direction and wind speed data from the weather stations helped firefighters quickly determine the direction of the fire's spread. Based on the wind speed information, the possible expansion speed of the fire was predicted. The fire - fighting team thus reasonably arranged manpower and materials, and set up fire - proof isolation belts in advance in the direction of the fire's spread, effectively preventing the further expansion of the fire.
