The firefighting soil-thrower for laying mineralized strips and extinguishing wildfires

Abstract

The article provides satellite monitoring of the fire situation in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Mari El. The methods of fighting forest fires are indicated. Particular attention is paid to the use of soil for the direct fight against forest fires by throwing it with special devices (firefighting soilthrow machine), which are perspective, especially when extinguishing low forest fires. The design of a firefighting soilthrow machine for extinguishing forest fires by creating (laying) mineralized strips and filling the edge of a moving fire with soil (low fires) is proposed.
