Beijing: The outbreak of Coronavirus in China is not over yet and a new problem has arisen in front of the government there. There is a fierce fire in the forests in China's southwestern province of Sichuan. 19 people including 18 firefighters have been killed in extinguishing this fire. Giving information to Chinese government media, PTI has informed that the fire started at 3.51 am local time on Monday.
It is being told that soon this fire spread to the local mountains. The weather is hot in China at this time and the winds are going strong. Therefore, the fire spread rapidly. The state-run news agency Xinhua has reported that 18 firefighters and a local farmer who went to extinguish the fire were trapped between the mountains. According to Xinhua, when these people were extinguishing the fire, during that time the wind suddenly changed and all these people got caught in the middle of the mountains and died in the fire.
Given the formidable form of fire, the Chinese government has sent 300 professional firemen and 700 military personnel. The cause of the forest fire is not yet known. About a year ago, there was a fire in these forests. During that time, at least 30 people died while extinguishing the fire. 27 of them were firefighters. In the Sichuan province of China, fire keeps on coming.
