The fires began on Friday, March 21 and have scorched southern regions and severely damaged a 1,300-year-old Buddhist temple. Emergency crews continue to battle the flames, with about 4,650 firefighters and personnel working with the help of about 130 helicopters as of Wednesday, March 26. Officials suspect human activity to be a possible cause.
