The pyramids have started the season prematurely
Part of the expert community locates the problem exclusively in poor penal policy, which in some way stimulates this negative and dangerous occurrence. According to them, the only way out to put an end to the burning of stores and forests is to introduce enormous fines, not 1,500 or 3,000 euros as the current ones, but 150 or 300,000 euros, so that everyone is aware that if they burn a stamp, it endangers human lives and properties, and the state is forced to hire additional resources. That price should be paid by reckless citizens to suffer innocent people in the future
Some aspects of the phenomenon – fires: Record number in just 20 days in March, most caused by ignition stalls
The main reason that led to the tragedy in the Kocani discotheque « Pulse » in which 59 people were killed is disrespecting the rules and regulations, and the same situation has been repeated in all spheres of social life in the country for years.
Neither the traurus was sufficient for the premature young lives precisely because of the fire, to soon blaze a fire in the vicinity of Strumica, and thanks to the superhuman efforts of firefighters, a new disaster could have been prevented in which more human lives could be lost and material damage.
The stoves are the first to burn
Namely, while the country was grieving, negligent citizens set fire to stabs in the Strumica environment, and the fire due to strong winds quickly got out of control and started moving to the holiday homes and settlements. The disaster was prevented at the last minute, and colleagues from Gevgelija, Valandovo and Radovis came to the help of Strumica firefighters.
Strumica Mayor Kostadin Kostadinov appealed for conscience and conscience to the citizens and asked how many more casualties we should give to know that there was no toy with fire.
– In days of great mourning in Macedonia, unfortunately, our negligent citizens set fire to a stamp, and fortunately, with our firefighters from Strumica with the support of firefighters from Radovis, Valandovo and Gevgelija, we managed to localize the fire without a speedy time without human sacrifice. I appeal to the conscience and conscience of the citizens. How many more casualties we need to make to make sure there is no toy with fire and that we need to be responsible for citizens to avoid disasters – Kostadinov said.
The investigation has shown that the cause of the fire is the burning of stores, no matter what is punishable by law. Small penalties and more often uninvailing the spots further stimulate this illegal process.
According to the Crisis Management Center, in just one day this month, ie on March 21, 28 fires have been registered, and a total of 484 outdoor fires have been registered since March 21.
« All fires have begun from sting, agricultural land that burns debris from crops or lamps overgrown with grass, thorns, shrubs and the like, » CMC informed.
Agricultural experts warn that the burning of the states not only is there a danger of wider fires, but also damages the land that then gives birth to less.
– This practice has a number of negative consequences that our agricultural producers do not know or deliberately neglect them. By burning the stalls, long -term destruction of land, especially if performed every year. Useful microorganisms in the land are killed, which are important for balance and creating humus. The land needs to be plowed with debris, so that they can rot and release nutrients for the soil. It’s crucial. The ashes only turn out the ground and affects the lesser yield. In addition, what is much more dangerous and from year to year is confirmed that the fire from the field can be expanded and causing a larger scale fire that can be killed – agricultural experts say.
Only with draconian penalties will the scorers be demotivated
Part of the expert field locates the problem exclusively in poor penal policy, which in some way stimulates this negative and dangerous occurrence.
– It is a striking fact that in just 20 days since March, when there were no heat, nearly 500 fires were observed, of which nearly 90 percent were caused by burning stamps. I don’t even want to think about what will happen when temperatures go above 40 degrees, when the woodcutters, the urban mafia are activated, which will start burning forests for their own purposes. We had a little bit of the Kocani tragedy, so we still play with fire. The only cure to end the burning of stents and forests is to introduce enormous penalties, not 1,500 or 3,000 euros as the current ones, but 150 or 300 thousand euros, everyone is aware that if it ignites a stamp, it endangers human lives and property, and the state is forced to hire additional resources, it is sometimes forced. That price should be paid by reckless citizens so that innocent people do not suffer – experts say.
According to them, no matter what the educational campaigns have been going on on several occasions, they continue to continue with the same practice.
– We have had several campaigns among farmers for the dangers of burning stors, but obviously they do not bear fruit. No matter how unpopular, only the penalties will change this situation. Each local government has data on agricultural land and forests on its territory, the owners are known to the authorities, so it is known exactly who lights up because the fires cannot appear every year in the same place. In times of modern technologies, each municipality can afford a drone to make control of the skies and record the spots. It is enough for one of the administrators to train to handle a drone, there are young people who can easily overcome it, go out on the field and record the spots on the spot. In addition, the legislator must change penal policy, so instead of symbolic, they receive draconian penalties that will affect everyone. What about him is 3,000 euros in penalties if it makes more than 30,000 euros in profit from the sold burned down? But when the punishment is so forced to sell their property, then I believe that everyone will imagine whether it will continue to break the laws. And that should be reflected in all areas, not only for the burning of stamps and forests, but also for buildings, for buildings, transportation, health care… are not Swedes, Germans or French more disciplined by us, but high penalties are made by such – experts conclude.
