    Forest fire in Bontoc town, Mountain Province

    On March 6, 2024, twenty-one forest fires had been recorded in the Mountain
    Province since January. Their last recorded damage took at least 24 hectares of forest
    in the capital town of Bontoc. The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) issued a warning
    alerting travelers to the potential hazards along the highway, specifically in the
    Barangay Alab area. The local government authorities quickly moved to close off the
    affected areas, redirecting to alternative routes to ensure the safety of motorists. No
    casualties from the forest fire have been reported. The BFP has also advised residents
    in nearby communities to remain vigilant and report any signs of fire immediately.
    Efforts are being made to contain the fires and prevent further damage to the region's
    forests. The firefighters managed to manage the forest fire by morning, allowing them to
    reopen the Bontoc-Baguio Road.

    Heat It can come from various human activities
    such as negligence, burning of grasses,
    burning of garbage, and kaingin (slash-
    and-burn farming). The dry conditions
    and windy weather also contribute to the
    heat factor.

    Fuel This includes dried pine trees and pine


    needles, which have become highly
    flammable due to the dry spell. Other fuel
    sources mentioned in the article include
    grasses, garbage, and vegetation in the
    forest.

    Oxidizing agent Oxygen is naturally present in the


    environment and supports the
    combustion process. The windy
    conditions in the province can provide
    ample oxygen to fuel the fires and help
    them spread quickly.

    Uninhibited Chemical Reaction Once the fire starts, it can lead to a


    chemical chain reaction that sustains and
    spreads the fire. In this case, the dry
    conditions and flammable fuel sources
    contribute to the rapid spread of the fires.

    Concrete Pre-cautionary Plans:


    Fire prevention in Bontoc, Mountain Province, requires multi-faceted action. First,
    educate citizens on avoiding fire hazards. Launch a campaign to make people aware of
    fire risks. Second, toughen up fire safety rules. The law must ensure proper
    precautions. Third, ignite community fire prevention efforts. Encourage locals to identify
    and report potential fire threats. Fourth, create firebreaks and fire lanes. Firebreak
    spaces can stop wildfires from spreading. Fifth, ensure proper waste disposal.
    Improperly handled trash fuels fires. Sixth, implementation monitoring and early
    detection measures. Spotting fires early saves lives and property. Lastly, coordinate
    with government bodies. Partnerships boost fire prevention success. By taking these
    steps, the town of Bontoc can safeguard its forests and communities from wildfire
    devastation.
