The forest fire in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, which started this afternoon, has already burned a 110,000-square-meter national forest. Forest authorities are focusing on stopping further proliferation until bright days after switching to nighttime fire fighting. Let’s find out by connecting journalists. Reporter Park Ki-wan! Start with the fire situation. Yes, let’s first look at the screen that contains the site situation This is the scene taken by the Korean Forest Service drone from above. Bright red flames rise here and there. Currently, the area where the fire is spreading will appear in red. There is a fairly large gap between the flames at the bottom of the mountain on the lower left and the two flames on the right. It is not easy to see because it is night, but the fire spread and all the forests here were burned. The fire started on Mount Nochu in Gujeoli, Yeoryang-myeon, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do, around 3:50 p.m. today (20). The Korea Forest Service and firefighting authorities mobilized 11 helicopters and dispatched more than 200 men to immediately extinguish the fire. However, the slope was steep and the mountain difficult, so firefighters were unable to get close to the fire site. Here, a strong wind of 6.2 m per second made evolution difficult. There are 5 private houses that live at the foot of the mountain where the fire is believed to have started, but no one has been injured by the forest fire to this day. However, an estimated 110,000 square meters of national forests have been burned by this fire at 9:30 pm. Fire departments and police are protecting the neighborhood from private homes for fear of the spread of wildfires. When I look at the screen, it seems that the flame is still very large. How far has evolution advanced? Yes, the forestry authorities explained that 50% had evolved by 11 pm However, the speed of night evolution will slow down. As it got dark, the Forest Service withdrew all helicopters that were deployed and is focusing on preventing further spread rather than evolution by establishing a broadcast line. The good news is that the strong winds have dropped to about 10 feet per second and are not spreading quickly. However, forestry authorities said they would avoid further damage as much as possible until the day is bright and the helicopter could be reintroduced, as a strong wind of about 5 meters per second is expected again after 3 am. So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over. Park ki-wan [[email protected]]
