On May 6th, 1987, several forest farms belonging to Xilin Gol League, Tuqiang, amuer and Tahe Forestry Bureaus in Daxinganling area of Heilongjiang Province caught fire at the same time, causing the most serious forest fire since the founding of New China.

After 28 days and nights of hard fighting, more than 58,800 soldiers and civilians (including 34,000 officers and men of the People's Liberation Army, 2 100 forest police, fire police and professional fire fighters, and 22,700 reserve militia, forest workers and the masses) put out the extraordinarily serious forest fire. On June 2, all open flames, residual fires and dark fires were extinguished, and the fire site was cleared.

Cause of fire

1in the spring of 987, Daxinganling suffered a severe drought. The warm ridge of Lake Baikal moved eastward, forming a hot atmospheric circulation, which, coupled with wind and dryness, increased the fire risk rating of forest areas.

On May 6th, 1987, people who blindly flowed into Mohe City, such as Wang Baojing, Fu Banglan, Guo, Li Xiuxin, etc., violated the operating rules and smoked in the wild, resulting in four mountain fires in Gulian Forest Farm of Xilin Jilin Industrial Bureau, Xing 'an Forest Farm of Amur Forestry Bureau and Yixi Forest Farm. At the same time, a mountain fire also occurred in the second branch of Pangu Forest Farm of Tahe Forestry Bureau in Tahe County. These five mountain fires were put out by the local fire department, and the fire was put out in the early morning of the 7 th, and the fire was controlled. ?
