Firefighters assist in border blazes

Firefighter Yu Xin from Tengchong, a border city in Yunnan province, has recently been learning to speak the Myanmar language with other firefighters on his team, and can use some simple words.

The language training is to prepare the firefighters for future missions in the neighboring country.

Tengchong, where the team is based, lies on the China-Myanmar border area where there are rolling mountains with abundant rare animal and plant resources.
