On March 31, information from the People's Committee of Cao Bang City said that the customs of organizing Thanh Minh have long been closely linked to the lives of each person, demonstrating the duty of the Vietnamese people.
According to the tomb burial custom, on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month, all people in Cao Bang will clean up and repair the graves of their grandparents and ancestors.
However, burning votive paper and grass without control poses a risk of fire, or ash will spread to the wind. In the face of dry and poor weather conditions, the forest fire warning in Cao Bang province is at level IV (danger).
Therefore, the authorities issued a warning to people and forest owners not to treat forest cover with fire and other activities using fire that pose a risk of causing forest fires.
In particular, warn people when burning garbage and votive paper during the Lunar New Year to have someone to watch over, absolutely do not burn garbage during strong winds, do not burn simultaneously on a large area to easily control if there is a widespread fire or a large fire. Water the areas that have just been burned before leaving.
