Troops of Engineering Brigade 414 join hands to stamp out the fire.

Due to the hot weather, strong wind and complicated terrain, the forces encountered many difficulties in distinguishing the fire.

To put the fire under control, MR4’s troops, locals, militiamen, and functional agencies and units had to clear bushes and create a firebreak to prevent the fire from spreading.

At 15:00 on the same day, the fire was completely put out. It was estimated that about 4 hectares of the pine forest were burned down.
