Han said, “The damage is snow.” “There are fears that we will get damage to the wildfire that we have not experienced before, so we have to focus all our capabilities to put out forest fires this week.”
Han said that the crews were struggling to extinguish forest fires because the strong winds swept overnight. Han said about 4,650 firefighters, soldiers and other employees were working on Wednesday to extinguish forest fires with the help of about 130 helicopters. He said that a “small amount” from 5 to 10 millimeters of rain was expected on Thursday.
Observers say that continuous forest fires are the third largest in South Korea in terms of burning lands.
Officials in many cities and towns in the southeast of the country ordered the residents to evacuate on Tuesday, as firefighters struggled to contain the multiple fire fed by the dry winds. The largest fires were in Androng, the neighboring provinces in Ozng and Sancheng, and Ulsan, according to the Ministry of Interior in South Korea.
Earlier on Tuesday, officials said that firefighters had turned off most of the largest forest fires in those areas, but the dry conditions that allowed congestion to spread again. The efforts to combat fires were partially suspended overnight with wind enhancement.
The fire was destroyed in Ozng approximately half 30 buildings in Johnsa, a temple that was originally built in the seventh century.
