BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu has urged
local authorities to keep alert to any fire outbreak and step up efforts to
prevent fire.
Hui made the request Tuesday in response to forest fires in the
northeastern Heilongjiang Province and the southwestern Sichuan Province.
Hui said high temperatures and dry weather in some regions made forests
more vulnerable to fire risks.
In the 24 hours till 8 a.m. Wednesday, four forest fires were reported,
according to the fire prevention office under the State Forestry Administration.
As of 9 p.m. Wednesday, three were still burning. One was in Heilongjiang and
the other two in Sichuan. No other information was provided.
Hui also called for efforts to eliminate possible risks over the May Day
holiday.
