    Chongqing, a city of more than 32 million people, faced a test this summer. A heat wave and drought caused several large wildfires since Aug 17.

    More than 14 thousand people have joined this war, including firefighters, soldiers, and professional teams, as well as helicopters have been sent to put out the fires.
