MORE than 1,000 people had battled a mountain fire for six hours before it was put out last night in southwest China's Yunnan Province, said local fire control authorities.
The fire was put out at 7:50 pm, more than six hours after the blaze engulfed a rugged mountain area in the Xishan District of Kunming, the provincial capital. No casualties were reported, said a spokesman from the province's fire control office.
More than 1,000 people, including firefighters and local residents, joined in the effort. About 550 people are still at the 6.67-hectare area to guard against a recurrence of the fire, the spokesman said.
The effort to extinguish the fire was hampered by high temperatures and strong winds, the spokesman said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
