Our fire fighters, rangers, rescuers, forest guards and heavy equipment drivers worked hard to lead the road to provide the fire brigades to the place. Water resources were mobilized and all of them expressed utmost heroism in fighting with fire”.

Helicopters played significant role in this process. “Helicopter aid was very important in fire extinction, though as you see the wind is getting stronger, which unfortunately impedes works and facilitates to fire spread. We hope that two additional choppers and a plane will solve this problem”.
