A devastating fire that broke out in the lower part of the Koslanda Poonagala mountain range has been fully contained by the early hours of this morning, February 11th. According to wildlife officials, the fire ravaged over 25 acres of the reserve, causing significant damage to the area's sensitive ecological zones.
The fire, which spread rapidly due to extreme dry weather and strong winds in the region, has raised concerns about the impact on the local wildlife and plant species. Wildlife authorities are continuing to assess the extent of the ecological damage caused by the blaze.
Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant as dry conditions persist in the area, heightening the risk of further fires.
