Forest fires have destroyed about 80 hectares of forest in the Doi Tung development project, in Thailand’s northern province of Chiang Rai, and worsened the air pollution in Mae Sai district, with the level of PM2.5 dust rising to 443 microns.

 

The fires started at about 3pm in Ban Pha Bue, one of several villages in the area of the Royally-sponsored Doi Tung development project in Mae Fah Luang sub-district, and quickly spread across firebreaks due to strong winds.

 

Officials from several local and provincial organisations, including the Pha Muang task force, and volunteers were mobilised to fight the fires, about 70% of which were brought under control before midnight. Fires are still raging in the eastern part of an economic forest area.
