In an innovative approach to firefighting, authorities in China’s northern Shanxi province have managed to extinguish a significant forest fire by inducing artificial rain through cloud seeding.

After several days of battling the flames in the mountainous region of Anze County, firefighters faced insurmountable challenges due to the steep terrain, soaring temperatures, and persistent winds. Traditional firefighting methods proved ineffective, prompting officials to turn to the advanced technique of cloud seeding.
