Summary: | The article is devoted to the search for an innovative approach to the elimination of combustion foci at solid municipal waste landfills. In connection with the increase in the number of solid municipal waste landfills near settlements, a number of geoecological problems are increasing. One of the most complex geoecological problems arising in connection with the operation of solid municipal waste landfills is the problem of the genesis and development of surface fires in the layer of household waste. At the same time, concern is caused not only by the actual dangerous factors of the spread of fire, but also by the subsequent significant pollution of the surface layer with air by combustion products, including those of a carcinogenic or mutagenic nature. To achieve this goal, the article describes an innovative approach to eliminating combustion foci at solid municipal waste landfills: an innovative device developed by the authors of the study - a mechanical fire hydrant for wetting burning deep layers of consumption waste with a fire-extinguishing liquid.
