Fire broke out on Friday in the forests of Sunderbani range of Nowshera sub-division in Rajouri district here.
"Fire incidents have occurred in the last 2-3 days in Sunderbani range because temperatures have increased here. We are hopeful that there would be rain which will control the fire. Our staff is working to control the fire," Divisional Forest Officer, Nowshera Suresh Manda told ANI.
The forest department with help from the locals has been able to extinguish the fire to some extent.
