Nghe An armed forces put forest fire under control

Upon receiving the report and request for assistance from local authorities, the Defensive Area Command Region 1 - Van An under the Nghe An Provincial Military Command mobilized 75 officers, staff, and militia troops, along with several vehicles to the scene. The team was led by Colonel Nguyen Tien Luong, Commanding Officer of the Defensive Area Command Region 1 - Van An.

Hot and dry weather, strong winds, and thick layers of dry undergrowth caused the fire to spread rapidly and fiercely. Dozens of hectares of the forest planted over a decade ago were at risk of being completely destroyed, posing danger to many households in the area.

With high spirit of responsibility and urgency, and the motto of putting the lives and property of the people first, the team coordinated with local forces and people to extinguish the forest fire.

Forces bravely battle the flame to save the forest.

After more than five hours of fire-fighting, by 6:05 p.m. the same day, the fire had been largely brought under control, ensuring absolute safety for personnel, equipment, and firefighting tools.
