Abstract
Forest ecological firefighting engineering is crucial for maintaining the functionality of the terrestrial ecosystem, albeit a complex and challenging task. The forest ecosystem constitute an integral component of the Earth's ecological environment system, playing an indispensable role in ensuring China's forest terrestrial ecosystem's structure and preserving its natural biodiversity. This paper conducts a comprehensive comparative study of forest fire emergency management both domestically and internationally. It introduces the current situation and characteristics of forest fires and analyzes their impacts on the environment, economy, and society. Using the domestic " Liangshan County Fire " and the American "California Forest Fire" as case studies, it explores the organizational mechanisms, technical means, and response measures of forest fire emergency management. The paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of forest fire emergency management at home and abroad and proposes suggestions for improvement. China should strengthen cooperation with the international community, learn from foreign experiences and technical means, while also enhancing supervision and management to prevent fires. This paper aims to provide reference and guidance for China's forest fire emergency management.
