Witnesses said that fire broke out at around 7am sending plumes of thick columns of black smoke thousands of feet into the air over the melaleuca forest.
Nearly 200 firefighters were mobilized to get the blaze under control. However, strong winds and difficult terrains hampered rescue work, and it took the firefighters more than 4 hours to control the roaring flame.
Authorities advised local residents not to burn trees in forest for farming in such a hot weather at present.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
