A significant forest fire in the Kasauli Beat area of Solan district was brought under control after over 27 hours of intense firefighting efforts. The blaze, which ignited around 1 PM on May 26, spread across nearly 10 hectares of forest land. The State Forest Department classified the fire as a ground fire, with the cause still under investigation. The firefighting operation involved nine personnel from the State Forest Department and aerial support from the Indian Air Force (IAF), which played a vital role in containing the fire through reconnaissance and aerial water-dropping missions. The challenging terrain complicated ground efforts, as fire brigade vehicles could not access the site due to dense forest cover. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties or property damage, and the situation was effectively managed without the need for additional support from the National or State Disaster Response Forces. A preliminary assessment of the area has been completed, with geo-tagged photographic documentation for further evaluation.
