(Baonghean.vn) - To be able to extinguish the fire in Dien Loc, besides the selfless sacrifice of soldiers and people directly extinguishing the fire, we cannot fail to mention the logistics force who climbed the forest all night to bring food and drinks for the forces to complete the task of protecting the forest.

The fire in Dien Loc commune, Dien Chau district, which broke out from noon on July 10th until the evening of the same day, still could not be controlled. Firefighters had to go hungry to rush into the fire to save the forest. Therefore, the logistics force did not mind the difficulties, working all night to provide supplies to the forces present at the scene. Photo: Quang An

Because it was dark, the supply workers had to use flashlights to find their way, and carry food and water on their shoulders. Photo: Quang An

The "menu" of supplies consisted of only bottles of water, cartons of milk, bread, dried instant noodles... but they were very valuable to the fire fighting force as they had been working hard for nearly 10 hours to put out the forest fire. Photo: Quang An

Gasoline was also brought up to provide timely fuel for blowers and saws to act as firebreaks. Photo: Quang An

The mountain road is bumpy and steep, just climbing is tiring, and carrying things makes each step even more difficult. Photo: Quang An

There are sections where the slope is so steep that the logistics team has to hold hands and pull each other up. Photo: Quang An

Among the supply workers were many young people, students in the area. Duyen, a student at Dien Chau 5 High School, shared: "Climbing the mountain at night was very hard, but thinking about the soldiers and relatives who were fighting the fire urged us not to falter.... Photo: Quang An

There were times when the logistics team had to take a break because they were too tired. Photo: Quang An

Many people were exhausted and drenched in sweat. Photo: Quang An

Despite the hardship, smiles still appeared on the faces of the supply workers, dispelling the hardship. Photo: Quang An

After more than an hour of climbing, food and water were brought to the scene by the logistics team and handed directly to the firefighters. Photo: Quang An
