FIELD: fire safety.
SUBSTANCE: in the method of extinguishing local surface and underground peat fires after the exploration the boundaries of active local combustion source of surface or underground peat fire is defined, a capacity in the form of water-filled dam is created along its border on the surface of peat layer, volume is fill, formed a limited perimeter of the dam and the surface peat layer, with water by bambi bucket carried by a helicopter or water pump through the hose line, and between the dam base and the peat layer surface nonflammable barrier is created. Extinguishing of possible combustion sources of peat fire is produced by gradual draining of water from the shell of the water-filled dam to the said volume, and when water is supplied, wetting agents are added to it. The essence of the claimed device (version according to claim 3) is that in the device for extinguishing local surface and underground peat fires, the walls of capacity are made in the form of a water-filled dam formed of a closed flexible shell, and the non-flammable barrier is made in the form of a lining mounted on said shell in the place of its contact with the surface of a peat layer, made of non-flammable fabric, for example, based on a completely amorphous silica fiber and fixed, for example, with an adhesive around the perimeter of flexible shell of water-filled dam. The essence of the claimed device (version according to claim 4) is that in the device for extinguishing local surface and underground peat fires, the walls of capacity are made in the form of a water-filled dam formed of a closed flexible shell, and the non-flammable barrier is made in the form of a lining made of non-flammable fabric, for example, on the basis of a completely amorphous silica fiber, spread out along the perimeter of the flexible shell of the water-filled dam in place of its contact with the surface of the peat layer.
EFFECT: increasing the effectiveness of fighting peat fires and reducing material costs in extinguishing large peat fires.
