Authority outlines measures to beef up fire alert systems

China's top forest and grassland fire prevention authority has recently issued a notice to bolster the construction of a fire warning and monitoring system, as the country enters the seasons of autumn and winter, which are high-risk periods for wildfires.

The notice was released by the National Forest and Grassland Fire Prevention and Control Command at the end of last month, according to a news release from the Ministry of Emergency Management on Tuesday.

The release said that the notice serves as a directive document for enhancing the forest and grassland fire warning and monitoring systems in the current and future periods.
