The Jammu and Kashmir Disaster Management Authority (JKDMA) has issued a pre-fire alert warning of a ‘Very High Forest Fire Risk’ over marked forest areas in Bandipora and Srinagar.

The alert is valid for the next three days, which started on April 1 and will end on April 3. The authorities have advised to take necessary precautions and report any fire incidents immediately by dialling 112.

Given the heightened fire risk, authorities have also outlined several dos and don’ts to prevent forest fires and ensure public safety.

Among the do’s list, it has asked to close windows, vents, and other openings to prevent embers from entering.

“Move animals and valuable goods to safer locations. After adventure activities, ensure that no bonfire or flame is left unattended,” reads the guidelines.

While among the don’ts, it has asked to avoid smoking near vegetation or forested areas and not to panic in case of a sudden fire. Refrain from entering the forest during a fire incident.

With regard to prevention and preparedness measures, it has asked to keep emergency contact numbers of district fire services and forest authorities readily available.

“Immediately inform authorities in case of an unattended or uncontrolled fire. Never leave a fire unattended in the vicinity of forested areas,” reads the guideline.

Highlighting the evacuation protocol in case of fire, it has asked that in case of an active forest fire, evacuate immediately if instructed by local authorities and to protect yourself from flying sparks and ashes.

It has also asked to untie cattle and livestock to allow them to escape safely.

Before Leaving Your House, the guidelines have outlined how to remove combustible materials like firewood, yard waste, gas cylinders, and fuel cans from your yard.

It has also asked not to attempt to outrun the fire and seek refuge in a pond or river if available.

“If no water is nearby, lie in a depression with little vegetation and cover yourself with wet clothes, blankets, or soil. Breathe through a moist cloth to avoid smoke inhalation,” reads the guidelines—(KNO)
