Over the past two weeks, the world has witnessed what has been hailed as "Chongqing speed" in people"s united action in Southwest China"s Chongqing Municipality that extinguished more than 10 forest fires in less than 10 days, with no casualties or damage to major facilities reported.
Due to a historic heat wave, the mountain city has seen back to back forest fires in its Fuling, Jiangjin and Banan districts since August 17. Under the leadership of China"s emergency management authorities and with efforts from firefighters, police, and tens of thousands of volunteers, all open fires were completely extinguished on August 26.
Stories, pictures and videos regarding this fire rescue action have been widely shared on China"s social media. An aerial video that showed a herringbone of yellow flame of fire and a line of white light coming from the headlamps on the head of rescuers in the night view of Jinyun Mountain of Chongqing"s Beibei district was one of the most striking footages that captured the unsung heroes in the disaster.
