A wildfire has been raging for nearly two days in Bingzhongluo Village of southwest China's Yunnan Province as of Sunday, local authorities said.

The fire broke out at 4:51 p.m. on Friday in Jiasheng Village, under the jurisdiction of Nujiang Prefecture. The local government has organized 326 rescuers, including personnel from forestry, grassland and firefighting departments, to combat the blaze.

No casualties have been reported so far.

As of 10 p.m. Saturday, the fire line spanned approximately 600 meters, with an affected area of about 600 mu (40 hectares). The government said the site is remote, with no residential areas or critical infrastructure nearby, but added that the fire is adjacent to steep cliffs and rugged terrain, complicating containment efforts.

As of 8 a.m. Sunday, firefighting operations were still ongoing.
