ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF COMBINED BARRIER STRIPS FOR LOCALIZING THE BURNING OF NEEDLES AND LEAFAGE

The eff ectiveness of the use of combined barrier strips consisting of moistened forest combustible material for extinguishing a forest fi re depending on the speed of air fl ow over it has been studied. To moisten the forest combustible material, use was made of water, an emulsion from a foam generator, a bentonite suspension, a bischofi te solution, and an OS-5 solution. Optimal combinations of the strips of needles and foliage, moistened with the indicated liquids, with the minimum consumption of the latter, that exclude the increase in the combustion site area have been established
