Phu Kradueng firebreaks to minimise bushfire damage
Authorities are building firebreaks in Phu Kradueng National Park in a bid to prevent widespread fire damage in the future, after a recent bushfire destroyed about 3,400 rai of forest in the nature reserve.
The move was announced by Natural Resources and Environment Minister, Varawut Silpa-archa, as he inspected the bushfire damage in the park. The blaze was first reported on Feb 16 and raged for 18 hours before it was brought under control by firefighters.
