Forest fires

Sir,
During last two months many fire incidents were noticed in many parts of the Jammu province especially in rural areas. These incidents caused huge loss to farmers.
Though fire incidents are a common feature during summer season due to scorching heat and shortage of water, some incidents occur due to negligence and carelessness of people.
The Fire Department alone can’t fight these incidents as it has been sufficient manpower and wherewithal people too have to share this responsibility.
There is urgent need to sanitize people about this issue, particularly those living near forests. These people should be provided equipments and guidance to fight fires. Huge loss occurs in forest fires. This loss is difficult to compensate. At times wildlife and human becomes its victims.
Yours etc….
