The fire that was spotted at about 8am yesterday raging in about 10 per cent of the forest reserve has now spread across 30 per cent of the area, according to Perak Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Mohd Yunus Abu. They are using an MI-17 helicopter and dropping water from 1,500-litre-capacity buckets, he said, adding that the fire was spreading easily due to the hot weather, strong winds and the bamboo plants that ignite quickly.

Mohd Yunus said a fire & rescue control post has been set up at the Forestry Training Centre in Jalan Lintang, Sungai Siput, and a forward control post would be established in Kampung Santeh, also in Sungai Siput.
