Forest fires are a recurrent problem in Mizoram, especially during the dry season, posing serious risks to both the environment and local communities. The Mizoram Police play an important role in preventing and controlling forest fires by working closely with the state forest department and local communities. Their efforts include patrolling forest areas to detect early signs of fire, as well as responding quickly when fires break out.
Additionally, the police are involved in awareness campaigns, educating communities about the dangers of uncontrolled burning and the importance of forest conservation. In emergencies, the police assist with evacuations, ensure that fire-fighting teams have access to critical areas, and help distribute relief materials to affected areas.
