Pakistani authorities battle forest fires in Islamabad’s Margalla Hills National Park (Video)

Authorities are yet to conclude whether the fire broke out because of the high temperature or there could be some other reason. Plumes of smoke were seen rising from the fire in the hills in Islamabad where firefighting helicopters were being used to douse the flames. Amid soaring temperatures, authorities in Pakistan are urging people to stay indoors, hydrate and avoid unnecessary travel. (AP Video by Muhammad Yousaf).
