Day and night fighting with fire and helplessly watching billions of dollars go away in the fire in U Minh Ha
A big fire in the peat layer occurred on June 9, in Xom Ray, hamlet 17, Khanh An commune (U Minh). Mr. H burned the fields, cleared the grass, and worked in the fields, accidentally letting the fire spread, seeping into the peat layer of the afforestation and farming areas of 52 households, over 70 hectares.
Day and night pants with fire: The people of Xom Ray helped each other put out the fire but failed, the fire spread and soaked into the peat and forest soil that had formed for many years. Melaleuca forests, newly planted acacia hybrid forests, and fields of medicinal herbs that burn clean. Khanh An commune government mobilized 3 hamlets, mobilized forces, bought fuel to extinguish the fire. Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh, Head of Hamlet 17 directly along with about 30 local people, reinforcements of neighboring hamlets.
In the past few days, women and children have taken care of the house and watched the fire to detect the spread of fire. The eldest son of Xom Ray fought the fire, but the area of the fire spread was about 4-5 hectares. Many people planted Melaleuca forests, Acacia hybrids and medicinal plants with nothing because they have not yet collected the fruits of their labor. Mr. Chau Van Hai said that his family planted nearly 2 hectares of fish medicine, which was about to be harvested, and burned down. ''Not only my family, many people lost hundreds of millions of dong because of the burning of the peat layer,'' said Mr. Hai.
Helplessly watching billions of dollars go away Mr. Le Van Tai, a local, said that in the past, there was an investor who exploited the peat layer. This area has a 1.2 m thick peat layer, which is offered at a price of 1.5 billion VND/ha, but the authorities of Ca Mau province do not allow it. After 3 days, people used a tool to cut the line, using the government pump to fight the fire was not effective, so everything stopped. The pump stops working, leaves it in a place where there is a risk of fire, and waits for the rain to flood before it can put out the smoldering fire in the ground.
Mr. Le Van Hai said: ''The Forest Protection Department, the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police have surveyed, but fighting the peat layer is very difficult, just zoning, preventing the fire from spreading to a large area and waiting for the rain to come down.''
Mr. Nguyen Van Khanh, Head of Hamlet 17, added that after the peat layer fire, this area does not cultivate fields, only rice. ''The peat layer burns, collapses down to a meter, so it can't be planted anymore.''
