Forest fires are raging in New Zealand's national park, with an area of 2,800 hectares burned.

Local journalists learned on the 10th that the forest fires in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, have reached an area of 2800 hectares in recent days. The emergency department of the fire department said that firefighting operations are still ongoing, and the fire in several areas has been preliminarily contained. The rain on the day significantly suppressed the fire, aerial reconnaissance did not see any obvious flames, and ground teams are using drones with thermal imaging to search for remaining hotspots.
