China News Network Kunming, April 2nd (Chen Jing) The reporter learned from the Propaganda Department of Diqing Prefecture Committee of Yunnan Province on the 2nd that as of 11:00, the "29 March" forest fire in the Shangri-La Economic Development Zone has entered the stage of cleaning up residual fire.
At 16:50 on the 29th, a forest fire broke out in the hill behind the Songyuan Group of the Shangri-La Economic Development Zone. The forest scene of the fire field is Yunnan pine and alpine pine, which are relatively flammable. After the fire, due to the strong wind and steep hills and high slopes, it made it difficult to fight the fire, and the fire spread quickly.
After the fire broke out, the Yunnan Forestry Fire Brigade mobilized Lijiang Forestry Fire Brigade and Baoshan Forestry Fire Brigade to reinforce Diqing. As of the morning of the 1st, more than 2,000 rescue forces have been invested in all parties, and 3 helicopters (2 of which were fired in buckets and 1 for reconnaissance missions) were conducting rescue operations.
According to the planned deployment of the headquarters, rescue personnel carried out a two-and-a-half hour burn operation on the evening of the 1st, and the open fire spreading to the threatening villages on the northern line of the fire field was effectively blocked. At 11:00 on the 2nd, the armed police, fire fighting, and emergency militia participating in the rescue team carried out the cleanup of the remaining fire in an orderly manner.
At present, the dangerous situation of the Songyuanxia Formation of Liren Village threatened to spread to the east by the northern line of the fire field is lifted. (Finish)
