In January 2024, parts of Australia suffered seasonal fires, and a large number of residents were forced to evacuate their homes. Faced with the severe situation of frequent wildfires in Australia, multi-dimensional solutions are urgently needed.
1. Prevention and monitoring
Smoke alarm: Intelligent smoke alarms are widely installed around forest areas and residential areas. It uses advanced smoke sensing technology to quickly issue high-decibel alarms at the beginning of a fire, even when extremely fine smoke is generated, to wake up sleeping residents in time and gain a valuable opportunity to escape. Its linkage function can also automatically send early warning information to the fire department.
Thermal imaging: With the help of satellite-borne thermal imaging technology, large areas of forest areas are monitored 24 hours a day. By capturing hot spots with abnormally high temperatures, accurately locating potential fire sources, and discovering fire hazards at the first time, it provides a key basis for the fire department to deploy firefighting forces in advance and achieve early prevention and control of fires.
2. Firefighting and rescue
Firefighting aircraft: Firefighting aircraft such as “Hercules” can carry a large amount of flame retardants or water to the fire scene at one time with their powerful carrying capacity. It is accurately delivered from the air, covers a large area of the fire area, and quickly suppresses the fire. It is especially suitable for large-area fires with fierce fires and difficult ground firefighting. It is an aerial blade to control the spread of fire.
Fire extinguishing bomb: For initial fires or small-scale open flames, portable fire extinguishing bombs are easy to operate and effective. It is filled with high-efficiency fire extinguishing agents. When thrown near the fire source, it explodes instantly, releasing fire extinguishing substances, isolating oxygen, and inhibiting combustion reactions. Ordinary residents can use it after simple training, and it plays a big role at the beginning of the fire.
3. Risk avoidance
Fireproof cloak: Made of multi-layer high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant materials, it is light and easy to carry. When residents evacuate urgently, putting it on can effectively block direct burning from flames and burns from falling sparks, protect key parts of the body, and escort the escape route.
Air purifying respirator: During fires with severe air pollution, air purifying respirators have become a must-have to ensure respiratory health. It is equipped with a high-efficiency filter element that can effectively filter harmful particles, smoke and toxic gases in the air, ensuring that users inhale clean air, maintain normal body functions, and avoid respiratory damage.
4. Ecological restoration
Fire-resistant plant planting: In the reconstruction phase after the fire, fire-resistant plants, such as some varieties of eucalyptus, are planted in the surrounding areas of the forest and areas prone to fire. These plants have thicker bark and special water storage structure, which can resist the invasion of flames to a certain extent, reduce the frequency and intensity of future fires, and gradually restore the ecological balance.
Soil restoration: Soil nutrients are lost and microbial communities are damaged after the fire. Introducing specific soil restoration bacteria, they can decompose combustion residues, promote soil nutrient circulation, create favorable conditions for vegetation regrowth, and help the rapid recovery of forest ecosystems.
Facing the “demon” of the repeated invasion of Australian wildfires, from prevention and monitoring, fire fighting, protection and risk avoidance to ecological restoration, we can take the initiative in the protracted battle with wildfires, protect this land and people’s peaceful life, and wait for the day when greenery returns to the earth.
