The law outlines that a forest fire is any fire occurring on land classified as forest or related areas under the Forest Act 1975, including reforestation and protected zones. It is considered a forest fire if it can damage forest vegetation or products, and fires on reforestation areas qualify once forest growth is present. The law regulates conduct in the event of a forest fire, including required behavior and firefighting measures. It also establishes rules on operational command during firefighting and provide for penalties in case of violations.
