A wildfire has been burning for nearly two days in Jiasheng Village, southwest China’s Yunnan Province. Local authorities have mobilized 326 rescuers, including forestry and firefighting personnel, to combat the blaze. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported, and as of Saturday night, the fire had affected an area of about 40 hectares.
The fire, which started on Friday afternoon, has a fire line spanning approximately 600 meters. Despite the challenging terrain with steep cliffs, the government is making efforts to contain the blaze. By Sunday morning, firefighting operations were still in progress to fully extinguish the wildfire.
In a separate incident on January 11, a sudden wildfire erupted in Queshi sub-district of Shantou City, Guangdong Province. Local forest fire prevention forces quickly responded to the situation. Last year, in April, a massive wildfire occurred in Pingyao County, Shanxi Province, where over 1,000 individuals were mobilized for firefighting efforts. Despite the operation’s challenges due to strong winds, no injuries were reported.
