Recently, according to relevant media reports, a fire broke out in Balswa landfill in northern Delhi, India on April 27, covering an area of more than 50 football fields. The garbage dump burned for two days, but the fire truck failed to put out the fire after it passed. According to Indian media reports, the weather in India has been hot recently, and fires broke out in several garbage dumps near New Delhi. The main reason is that it is too hot. This report immediately attracted the attention and heated discussion of the majority of netizens. So what can we do to prevent this kind of accident from happening again? The author has compiled some information as follows.
First, bury the garbage in time. In addition to the hot weather, another important reason for the fire in India's landfill is that the garbage has not been effectively landfilled. So that most of the garbage is exposed outside, and when the weather is hot, the garbage is easy to catch fire. So in order to avoid fire, it is necessary to bury the garbage underground.
Second, scientific management, establish and improve the supervision and management system. As can be seen from the report, this landfill is basically an unmanned dump. Lack of management will inevitably lead to such incidents. The landfill itself is a messy area. If there is no effective management, it will become a huge hidden danger, even a place outside the law. The garbage dump with fire in India is as big as 50 football fields, which means more scientific management is needed. For example, a monitoring system can be installed to monitor and manage the garbage dump 24 hours a day.
Third, establish a fire prevention mechanism. In fire-prone areas, fire hoses and fire pools should be built in advance to prevent fire-fighting vehicles from entering without water. And equipped with a certain number of mobile fire extinguishers.
So to sum up, India's landfill sites are mainly due to chaotic management, lack of effective management methods, and insufficient construction of fire prevention and disaster avoidance, which leads to frequent fires.
