It happens almost every year

Some people have even been injured or sentenced for it

Typical Cases:

In May 2022, a garbage pile in a village in Yucheng, Shandong Province caught fire. The cause of the fire was that Zhang, a villager in the village, ignited the willow catkins and caused a fire to a nearby garbage pile, and at the same time, two willow trees of Zhang's family were burned. In the end, Zhang was given an administrative penalty of a warning by the public security organ in accordance with the law for negligently causing the fire.

May 2022, Jinan, Shandong. A man who was allergic to poplar catkins ignited the catkins in a fit of rage, and the fire spread rapidly, destroying two private cars and a number of scrapped vehicles. During the examination, the man confessed to the crime of arson and was subject to criminal coercive measures.

Willow catkins are rich in oil

Exposed to air in combination with oxygen

In case of open flame, it will ignite immediately and spread instantly

If it is not controlled in time

It is very easy to cause "fire and camp"

furthermore

Willow catkins can also have an impact on live equipment

It's not just "allergic people" who suffer

Even live devices can be "allergic"

Power sector, enterprises, factories, households

All need to be guarded against
