Firefighters in Chongqing, a city in Southwest China, have put out an outbreak of major wildfires caused by extreme heatwaves in only nine days. They dealt with this by lighting a fire and linking it with the burning forest fire in     1     opposite direction. The two fires     2     (lead) to a sudden shortage of oxygen which effectively stopped the fire. On the night of August 25, forest fire teams from neighbouring Yunnan province decided to set a backfire with these two conditions. Firstly, a forest isolation (隔离) belt was set by large numbers of volunteers,     3     (clear) away any possible combustible (易燃的) materials for the ongoing wildfire. So when this fire came, nothing     4     (leave) to burn. Secondly, firefighters grabbed a perfect chance when the wind changed is direction. They followed the wind blowing from the north to the south and put out a new fire that flared (燃烧) up and ran into the wildfire.

The whole process took 3 hours and around midnight, the     5     (new) lit backfire cut off and put out the powerful fire.     6     this may sound simple, it required clever methods and a great amount of joint effort. With fifty professional firefighters at the front and     7     (thousand) of armed police and volunteers in the back, the team finally brought the fire under     8     (control).

    9     the next morning, all the forest fires in Chongqing had been put out, It was a shining witness to the     10     (city) emergency response and quick action.
