Out of 39 hectares of Deurali's Vrindavan Community Forest, 10 hectares have been burnt. "It has been difficult to control it due to the geographical difficulty and the storm," said Tamang, Information Officer of Division One, "There is no situation to extinguish it by reaching the forest except for trying to save the settlement." Locals said that the fire was brought from the Pokhardanda area. Kanta Adhikari, Vice President of Ribdikot Rural Municipality, said that it was difficult to control it due to the wind.
She said that there is a severe fire in the forest area in the north and south under the road connecting Khyaha from Hartok to Deurali. It has been difficult to control the fire in the dry forest. Tansen municipality's fire brigade, Nepali army, armed police, public road police, employees of sub-division office, local residents, public representatives were assigned to control the fire, said Omprakash Pokharel, ward president of Ribdikot Rural Municipality-2, Deurali. According to him, there is no other way but to save the settlement.

Chief District Officer Toynarayan Subedi, Chief of Nepal Army Mahindra Dal Gana Bhupendra Gurung, Chief of Police Narendra Chand and other security agency teams have observed the burnt area. The fire has moved from Deurali to the upper part of Tansen Municipality-14, Argali. There is no risk of settlement in this area . Water fountains, tanks, electricity transformers have been saved. According to the division forest office, the fire started in the forest due to the wind and the short circuit in the power transformer.
