OVER 2,800 people are working to put out a forest fire that raged for the fifth days yesterday in southwest China's Yunnan Province, local authorities said.

More than 2,800 firefighters and four helicopters have been mobilized to contain the fire, the statement said, adding that the fire has been effectively controlled.
No casuality has been reported so far. The economic losses are being assessed.
