Three consecutive forest fires have broken out along the coast of Quang Tri province.

Over two consecutive days, three forest fires broke out in the coastal forest area of ​​My Thuy commune (Quang Tri province), forcing authorities to urgently mobilize personnel and equipment to control the flames.

On the afternoon of June 2nd, the Hai An Border Guard Station ( Quang Tri Provincial Border Guard) announced that the unit had successfully extinguished a forest fire in Dong Tan An village, My Thuy commune, in coordination with other functional forces and local authorities.

According to initial information, at over 1:35 PM on the same day, a fire suddenly broke out in the planted forest area of ​​Dong Tan An village. The fire quickly spread over an area of ​​approximately 3.15 hectares. The area where the fire occurred is forest land managed by the My Thuy Commune People's Committee, currently used by local people to plant acacia trees.

Upon receiving the report, the Hai An Border Guard Station mobilized 15 officers and soldiers to the scene, coordinating with 67 people from various functional forces and local residents to implement a firefighting plan. The forces quickly cleared vegetation, created firebreaks, and cordoned off the area to prevent the fire from spreading.

The causes of the fires are currently being investigated by the authorities.

After nearly two hours of efforts to control it, the fire was completely extinguished. Notably, this was the third forest fire to occur in My Thuy commune in just two days.
