1. Forest fire protection
How to behave in the forest
or about John and his forest trip

2. Once upon a time, Johnny and his father went hiking to the forest.
-Son, you musn’t litter!- said dad.
-Why? – asked Johnny.
-Because you destroy the environment…

3. …Moreover, you can cause a fire.

4. -Listen. - continued dad
-Listen! - continued dad. – If we want to go camping and kindle a bonfire,

5. we can do it only at the designated
places.

6. If you see the fire, you should call the fire department,
the police, the vogt or the village administrator immediately!

7. Look! There is a board with types of forest fires.

8. 1. Coal seam fires:
develop on peat bogs
their combusition is flameless so you can pick them up through the smoke
temperature up to 1000o Celsius
they spread slowly so and can last even a few months

9. 2. Surface fires:
they are the most frequent ones
develop on groundcover
moss, grass, shruberry and bark catch fire

10. 3. Crown fires:
involve whole trees
the fire spread quickly by treetops
the flames can stand up to m over treetops

11. 4. Single tree fires:
are very rare
they develop as a consequence of lightning strike or arson
they can result in big forest fires

12. Remember, Johnny!
If you don’t respect the rules, you can cause a forest fire. We should protect forests because the are one of the most important ecosystems
