On July 3, about 600 firefighters participated in this cruel battle. At that time, 13 square miles of forest had been burned. The government hopes to completely control the disaster by July 12 so that nearby residents can return to their homes as soon as possible.

Local fire brigade Captain Jeff Newnum revealed: "The wind speed in some areas was as high as 41 miles per hour, and the fire spread 4 kilometers in 20 minutes through the dry forest. The ground after the fire was scorched black, and the charred pine trees were like toothpicks inserted on the uphill slope."
