前往阿里山國家風景區的台18線阿里山公路,遊客一定會下車的著名景點「隙頂象山」,昨(1)日凌晨4點30分發生火警,火勢延燒直至今(2)日中午12點19分徹底熄滅;經林務局嘉義林區管理處空拍後,象山背上的「綠毛」已全部被燒得精光。

林務局人員表示,象山火警發生後,嘉義林區管理處、嘉義縣消防局等單位雖然派員前往,只是象山是屬獨立峭壁草生地、竹林地形,人員難以接近,不利於人員執行滅火作業,且山壁上燃料就有限,經過一天燃燒,芒草等輕質燃料燒完,火就停了;前往現場的搶救人員,除開闢防水線外,幾乎只能以監控,不讓火場擴大為主。

受限於路程與救火的交通、水源等因素,執行救火任務人員僅能「開闢防水線、先行監控」;昨日中午過後,火勢略小,嘉義林管處仍然提出「直升機協助森林滅火」的申請,却又礙於山區濃霧,直升機無法上山執行救火勤務。

高度約1050公尺的象山,在台18線的隙頂觀景台看過去,有象頭、象鼻和象背的樣貌,就像一頭「巨象」,却因地勢險峻,除了原始山林與外,還有山豬與山羊等野生動物;這場火災,除了象山上的綠毛被燒精光外,可能也已經造成山上的生靈塗炭了。

林務局嘉義林管處指出,今日上午經5次空拍機的空拍及人員觀測,象山現場已無火煙,12點19分已於完全熄滅,後續將派員監視火場;同時呼籲民眾,近來天乾物燥,稍有零星火苗極可能引起山林火災,若發現林火,請立即撥打0800-000930。

Going to the Alishan Highway on the 18th line of the Alishan National Scenic Area, visitors will definitely get off the famous scenic spot, "Guanshan Mountain". At 4:30 am yesterday (1), a fire broke out and the fire continued to burn until today (2) at noon. At 19 points, it was completely extinguished. After the aerial shooting of the Chiayi Forest Management Office of the Forest Service Bureau, the "green hairs" on the back of Xiangshan had all been burnt.



The staff of the Forest Service Bureau said that after the occurrence of the Xiangshan fire alarm, the Chiayi Forest Management Office and the Chiayi County Fire Station and other units sent personnel to go, but Xiangshan is an independent cliff grassland and bamboo forest terrain. It is difficult for personnel to access, which is not conducive to personnel performing fire fighting operations. The fuel on the mountain wall is limited. After a day of burning, the light fuel such as Miscanthus is burned out, and the fire stops. The rescue personnel who go to the scene, except for the waterproof line, can only monitor and prevent the fire from expanding. the Lord.



Subject to traffic and water sources such as distance and fire fighting, officers performing firefighting missions can only "open up waterproof lines and monitor first". After noon yesterday, the fire was slightly smaller. The Chiayi Forest Management Office still submitted an application for "helicopter assisted forest fire fighting". However, due to the dense fog in the mountains, helicopters could not go up the mountain to perform fire fighting services.



Xiangshan, which is about 1,050 meters high, looks over the viewing platform on the 18th line of the Taiwanese platform. It has the appearance of elephant head, elephant trunk and elephant back. It is like a giant elephant, but it is steep in terrain, except for the original mountain forest. In addition, there are wild animals such as mountain pigs and goats; this fire, in addition to the green hair on the mountain, has also burned the light, and may have caused the creatures on the mountain to be charred.



The Forestry Bureau of Chiayi Forest Management Office pointed out that after five empty shots and personnel observations this morning, there was no fire at the Xiangshan site, and it was completely extinguished at 12:19. The follow-up will send personnel to monitor the fire. People, recently dry and dry, a little sporadic fire is very likely to cause forest fires, if you find forest fire, please call 0800-000930 immediately.
