In the midst of this, firefighters from the Xizang Forest Firefighting Special Operations Unit have been providing vital support to the affected residents. At Cuo'ang Village in Quluo Town, Dingri County, these dedicated firefighters are not only aiding in rescue operations but also bringing comfort by preparing meals for the villagers.
\"Our priority is to ensure that everyone is safe and taken care of,\" said a member of the firefighting unit. \"By cooking meals, we hope to provide some warmth and a sense of normalcy to the community during this difficult time.\"
The community spirit is strong as residents and firefighters share meals together, fostering unity and resilience. The villagers express their gratitude for the support, which extends beyond physical aid to emotional encouragement.
With continued efforts from local authorities and support teams, Dingri County is steadily progressing toward rebuilding homes and restoring livelihoods. The collaborative efforts highlight the strength and solidarity of the people in the face of adversity.
