On May 20, rescuers battle the forest fire at the Honghuaerji Mongolian Scots pine seed tree forest area.
On that day, a forest fire broke out at the Baritu Forestry Farm in the Honghuaerji Mongolian Scots pine seed tree forest area in Inner Mongolia, and more than 200 officers and soldiers of the stationed forest police and forestry department personnel were urgently dispatched to fight it. Because the wind on site was strong and the direction shifting, the firefighting work faced a certain degree of difficulty. As of press time, the fire was still being fought.
The Honghuaerji Mongolian Scots pine forest area is the largest in Asia and China's only concentrated, contiguous belt of Mongolian Scots pine seed trees. It is the first barrier of the country's "Three-North" shelterbelt, with a forest area of 598,000 hectares.
