The Jeongseon fire, which started yesterday afternoon, was slowly extinguished overnight due to the slope and strong winds, and 120,000 square meters of national forests were burned. As dawn breaks this morning, full-blown firefighting work with helicopters will resume. At Muju Resort, Jeollabuk-do, 80 people, including guests, were evacuated due to a fire at the hotel. Connect with reporters. Reporter Park Ki-wan! Is the Jeongseon wildfire suppression work that started yesterday afternoon still going on? Yes it is. The fire started around 3:50 pm yesterday and extinguishing work has been carried out for more than 13 hours. Forest officials explained that as of 4:30 am today, about 70% of forest fires have been extinguished. The range of fire, that is, the length of the flame has also been reduced from 700 m to 400 m. The fire started on Nochusan Mountain in Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do, around 3:50 pm yesterday (20). The Forest Service and the fire department mobilized 11 helicopters to immediately extinguish the fire, but the slope was severe and strong winds of more than 6 m / sec. There is a private house at the foot of the mountain, but no one has been injured by a forest fire yet. However, it is estimated that this fire burned 120,000 square meters of national forests. After sunset yesterday, the helicopters were also withdrawn, establishing a proliferation barrier, focusing on preventing further spread rather than evolution. At least last night, the wind has abated and accelerating the evolution, but now a strong wind of 5 m per second is blowing again. The forestry authorities explained that they would resume the complete evolution mobilizing 14 helicopters that were on standby around 7 in the morning. Fortunately, the hotel fire appears to have ended without further human damage. Please tell us the detailed situation first. Yes, the fire started around 11pm yesterday (20). It happened at a five-story hotel in Muju Resort, Jeollabuk-do, where many guests stayed for the weekend. Around 3:55 am, after 4 hours and 50 minutes, all the lights went out. With this fire, 87 people, including guests and room staff, were evacuated and two were rescued by dispatched firefighters. One of these women in her 50s was taken to a hospital after inhaling smoke. There were also difficulties putting out fires at night. First of all, there is no fire station in Muju-gun, so the fire truck arrived in 40 minutes from the Jangsu fire station closest to the fire site. Here, the hotel itself is a wooden building, and over time, strong winds made evolution difficult. Around 1:20 in the morning, the second stage of response to the fire began, in which personnel and equipment from the nearby fire stations were mobilized. First, the fire department believes that a fire started on the roof of the eaves of the building. It is known that inside the hotel there was a wood stove, and the exact cause of the fire including this part will be investigated. So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over.
