Please note that I am not an expert in agriculture or fire safety and the following information is for reference only. Before undertaking any burning operation, be sure to check local laws and regulations, obtain the required permits, and consult with professionals and local fire departments to ensure that the operation is legal and safe. Here are some common steps and suggestions to help improve the efficiency and safety of burning: 1. Confirm legality and compliance • In some areas, open-air burning of crop residues requires advance declaration or permission. • Understand local environmental protection and fire regulations to avoid penalties for violations and environmental damage. 2. Choose the right weather conditions • Avoid strong winds, rain and high temperatures. Low wind speed and dry weather can help control the fire. • Understand the local weather forecast and choose the right time with suitable wind direction and humidity to ensure that the fire will not spread due to wind. 3. Material pretreatment • If possible, bundle and stack rice straw and stalks in advance to allow them to dry fully, which will help the fire burn evenly and burn faster. • Stack them in a scattered manner and avoid dense accumulation, because too dense will lead to incomplete combustion or heavy smoke, and it is not conducive to fire control. 4. Delineate the work area and fire isolation zone • Clear weeds and vegetation around the burning area and dig fire isolation zones to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding areas. • Designate a safe area to ensure that personnel, livestock and flammable items are away from the fire source during the operation. 5. Prepare sufficient fire-fighting equipment • Prepare sufficient fire-fighting tools, such as water trucks, fire hoses, fire extinguishers, soft soil or sand. • A dedicated person should be assigned to the site to monitor the changes in the fire situation and make fire-fighting preparations. 6. Use the method of burning in sections and batches • Divide the agricultural residues into several smaller areas and ignite them one by one instead of burning a large area at a time, so that it is easier to control the fire. • Each small area should have a clear fire control boundary to ensure a smooth and continuous burning process. 7. Safe ignition skills • Use a long-handled ignition tool or a fire stick and keep a safe distance from the fire source or the burning area. • If conditions permit, consider using mechanical ignition (such as using combustion control equipment) to reduce the risk of direct contact. 8. Full-process monitoring and emergency plans • Always maintain manual monitoring during the burning process to prevent the fire from getting out of control. • Develop an emergency plan: clearly define emergency measures and evacuation routes in advance in case of abnormal situations (such as sudden strong winds and fire spread). • After the operation is completed, be sure to thoroughly check the fire area to ensure that there are no residual sparks. If smoke or residual fire is found, add fire-fighting measures in time. 9. Pay attention to environmental and health protection • Large amounts of smoke and harmful gases may be generated during the burning process. It is recommended to wear protective masks and keep residents away as much as possible. • If conditions permit, consider using other treatment methods (such as mechanical crushing, composting, etc.), which can not only clean up crop residues in the field, but also reduce air pollution and fire risks. Summary: The key to burning as quickly as possible while ensuring safety lies in adequate preparation, reasonable zoning and scientific ignition, as well as full-process monitoring and emergency response capabilities. Reminder again: Before specific operations, please be sure to consult local relevant departments and experts to ensure that the operation is legal, standardized and safe.
