Abstract: The article analyzes the causes and consequences of forest and peat fires in areas where building stone is mined, using the Samarskoye deposit in the Novosibirsk region as an example. The types of forest fires and their characteristics are discussed. There are two main groups of causes for natural fires: natural and anthropogenic. Since fires can spread over large areas and cause natural disasters, various methods and tools are used to address safety issues. To reduce the risk of fire hazards and minimize the consequences of natural fires, a comprehensive approach is proposed that combines prevention, forecasting, detection, and extinguishing measures. Methods for localizing and extinguishing fires using directed explosions, including explosive charges, as well as modern technologies for creating fire barriers, have been proposed. For example, fire-resistant channels and mounds are used, which are formed after explosions. This helps to prevent the spread of fire and ensure safety within a distance of 50 to 60 m. Special attention is paid to methods of increasing the efficiency and safety of explosive work. A typical diagram of the cross-section profile of a fire-resistant channel created by the explosion of a slot charge is presented, as well as diagrams of the placement of charges and the design of fire-resistant channels. The proposed measures are aimed at increasing the efficiency of responding to fire outbreaks and reducing the damage caused by fires. Methods of extinguishing a forest area by means of a directed explosion using explosive charges are proposed. The results of the study can be useful in developing fire protection plans for industrial facilities located near forest areas.
