The hot, dry weather, strong winds, and thick dry cover caused the fire to spread quickly and flare up fiercely. Dozens of hectares of people's forests, over 10 years old, were at risk of being burned down and endangering many households living in the area.

With a sense of responsibility, urgency, and dedication to the lives and property of the people, officers, soldiers of the unit and militia and self-defense forces coordinated with local forces and people to put out the fire and save the forest.
