METHOD FOR PREVENTION OF PEATBOG FIRE SPREADING

FIELD: fire-fighting equipment, particularly for peat fire spread prevention. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves forming intermittent strips; supplying water to intermittent strips and forming wetted area. Wetted area is formed by arranging mole drains along intermittent strip lengths and supplying water to them to moisture peat bed through the whole thickness thereof. To perform preventive water conservation intermittent strip surfaces located above mole drains are loosened for 0.15 - 0.2 m depth and 1.0 - 1.5 m width and intermittent strip surfaces above mole drains in fire vicinity are rolled up. Fire inhibitors are added to water before supplying thereof in mole drains. ^ EFFECT: increased fire-protective efficiency regardless of peat bed thickness. ^ 2 cl, 2 dwg
