A forest fire that broke out on a farm three days ago 
is now under control. Firefighters were running out of 
water supplies yesterday, but helicopters brought extra 
supplies to help put out the blaze. Huge areas of forest 
have been virtually wiped out by the fire. Many farm 
buildings were also reduced to rubble. Fortunately the 
fire did not spread to a nearby town, which could have 
cut the town off from firefighters.
