China's Ministry of Emergency Management organized firefighters to run field investigations to prevent wildfires and conduct fire drills in deep forests and scenic areas as the country entered fire season. Firefighters need to monitor the amount of fuel and flammable gas as well as wind direction in the forest. Firefighters also run multiple field investigations in the vast area to improve risk control capabilities. To discover hidden fire risks, firefighters routinely patrol scenic forest areas to curb illegal activities.

In Dunhua, a forest-rich county, firefighters and local government jointly carried out a combat fire drill. Amid a hypothetical severe forest fire, the fire brigades reacted swiftly. They put out the fire with multiple types of equipment, including crawler pump trucks, helicopter buckets and remote water supply deployment.
