Fire erupts in jungle near Abbottabad, posing threat to surrounding areas

A fierce fire has erupted in the Kali Mitti and Harno forests, the entrance of Abbottabad tourist pretty spot Galiyat, which quickly spread to a vast area due to strong wind, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.  

 According to details, the blaze erupted at the top of the hill and it is very difficult to reach there by foot.

The flames swiftly consumed over half of the forest area, prompting urgent action from rescue teams on the scene.

The flames have spiraled out of control intensifying concerns for the ecological and touristic significance of the region.

The intensity of the fire in Abbottabad is alarming, with flames reaching sky-high levels.

The inferno has already led to the destruction of thousands of valuable plants and hundreds of towering trees, turning the once-vibrant forest into a charred landscape.

Tragically, the Abbottabad fire has not only claimed flora but also resulted in the loss of countless wild animals and birds that inhabited the forest.

The toll on wildlife and biodiversity is a heartbreaking consequence of the relentless blaze.

 Compounding the crisis, the Abbottabad fire has started encroaching upon nearby villages, markets, and mosques. The potential threat to human settlements adds urgency to the ongoing firefighting efforts.

Firefighting teams are tirelessly working to contain the flames, but the ferocity of the fire has presented formidable challenges.

Five fire brigades are actively engaged in combatting the blaze, which continues to spread rapidly.

The forest fire has posed a significant challenge for the rescue teams, exacerbated by the darkness of the night and limited access to the affected area.
