CHONGQING, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- More than 1,500 people have been
mobilized to fight a forest fire that is spreading rapidly through the drought
parched timberlands of southwest China's Chongqing municipality.
Soldiers, firefighters, armed police and local
residents have gone to fight the blaze, but the mountainous roads had made the
operation difficult, the municipal forest fire prevention office said Thursday.
The fire began at around 1:00 p.m. Wednesday in Yakou
Village, in Yubei District of northern Chongqing, and soon spread to neighboring
Beibei District, the office said.
No casualties from the fire have been reported,
according to the office.
The worst drought in 50 years hit Chongqing and
neighboring Sichuan Province this year, and has afflicted major areas of the two
regions for up to three months. Enditem
