Why is it so difficult to put out the huge fire under the gate of Xintian County?

The disaster of extinguishing the fire under the gate of Xintian County was due to the influence of weather. Hunan Province, which was originally experiencing a severe drought, was under the gate of Xintian County. Coupled with the dry weather, there was no water at all in some places. If a fire broke out, you could only watch it burn and you couldn't even find the water to put out the fire. There are many hidden dangers of fire, including farmers burning soil ashes and burning weeds.
