On the afternoon of May 4, Mr. Hoang Quoc Huan - Head of the Ha Tinh Forest Protection Department - said that in order to proactively prevent forest fires, from February 2025, the Ha Tinh Forest Protection Department has issued a document directing the implementation of forest fire prevention solutions.

Organize a 24/7 guard force at checkpoints, guard posts, surveillance camera observation points... to detect forest fires early, control people entering and leaving the forest when the warning level of forest fire risk is level III or higher.
Arrange forces, means, materials, and funding to ensure good implementation of "4 on-site", be ready to participate in controlling and extinguishing forest fires in the shortest time, not allowing forest fires to spread widely.
Strengthen propaganda work, raise awareness and sense of responsibility of each cadre, party member and people in the work of protecting and preventing forest fires.
Tightly control the use of fire in and near forests by people during peak hot weather; promptly prevent and strictly handle violations of safety regulations on forest fire prevention.
During the peak of hot weather, arrange 100% of the force, proactively "4 on-site", be ready to participate in fighting forest fires when new fires arise and promptly respond to forest fire in adjacent localities and units when there is a mobilization order.
