What was once a beautiful display of nature, an endless stretch of lush and thick blankets of greenery were now burned away, leaving behind only large and gray husks of tree trunks and piles of ashes blanketing the ground.

It was still drizzling.

The firefighters made one last final round of the area as unauthorized vehicles were still not granted entry into the sectioned ring.
