Helicopters dump water on wildfire in smoke-ridden northern Thailand

Helicopters dumped water on fires that were started illegally on two mountains in northern Thailand.

The Forest Fire Operation Centre dispatched two helicopters - an army MI-17 helicopter and a KA-32 helicopter from the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation - to douse the blaze at the Suthep Scout Camp in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park in Chiang Mai on April 18.
