I just went there a week ago, see panoramic. There is only one news story on this at news.google.com as of this post.

They are putting out the fire, which has been blazing for at least two days now, with the use of horses. Helicopters cannot be used because of the high elevation of the mountain range.

The fire has been escalated by high winds in the last week (very noticeable here in Chuxiong.)
