In response to the fact that lightning strikes and fires are common in the high-altitude primeval forest area of Yuxu Township, Bomi County, the propaganda team set up propaganda positions along the mountain entrances and mountain trails, and carried out mobile propaganda through the forest. At the entrance of the forest area where tourists gather, the propagandists combined typical fire cases to intuitively explain the key points of avoiding thunderstorms in the forest area, the early identification and reporting process of lightning fires, and popularized the fire hazards of litter and humus accumulation under the forest, and guided tourists to actively hand in fire and abide by the fire prevention regulations in the forest area.

In village courtyards and on the edge of fields and forests, firefighters used familiar local accents to explain the standard requirements for fire use in agriculture and domestic life in a homely manner. They explained the harm of forest fires to homes and ecology based on cases around them, and explained the legal responsibilities for illegal use of fire.
