Goh Pei Ming on reducing vegetation fires
Climate change has resulted in drier and hotter weather in recent years, increasing the risks of wildfires. The Singapore Civil Defence Force leads an inter-agency wildfire task force to proactively minimise the risk of vegetation fires. The task force actively monitors weather patterns and initiates preventive measures ahead of anticipated dry spells. This includes identifying potential hotspots and creating fire breaks or buffer zones to prevent fire spread during vegetation fires. Minister of State for Home Affairs Goh Pei Ming said this in reply to an MP’s question in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 4).
