Wildfires have been raging for about a week through the forests of the Dong Phaya Yen mountain range and adjoining Khao Yai National Park in Pak Chong district of Nakhon Ratchasima and they are still not under control.
Multiple teams of firefighters have been trying to control the fires, but they are struggling against strong winds and difficult terrain.
A follower of the ‘North-eastern Fire Control Centre 3’ webpage reported that 33 firefighters were sent to fight the fires today, which had broken out around New Year, claiming about 32 hectares of forest so far.
