Raged flames were nearly put out in Inner Mongolia’s Naji forest where around 8,400 hectares of land area burned, according to Xinhua on May 19. And firefighters are still working on patrol to tackle smoking areas.

The firefighting headquarters dispatched three squads from Tongliao city, Hinggan League and Xilin Gol League to reinforce the extinguishing task.
