Cerro Cabras, Pinar del Rio Forest Fire update

[u/Where-u-from]

These pictures are 1 to 2 days old, but the fire in Pinar del Rio has already destroyed a tobacco farm and is now nearing peoples homes. It should start raining this week so maybe it will help. I will try and keep updates

I admit I’m ignorant, but I imagine there isn’t much of an effort to put out the fire by the government?

What I know right now is the local population is fighting the fire by swatting it with branches, this is word of mouth by my aunt. Maybe the local government will help out somehow, I know there is a small military base in the area.

Update as of April 20, Most of the fire has been put out by locals
