As wildfire extinguishing helicopters arrive on site, extinguishing work is reviving.

There are 23 helicopters mobilized, including 11 from the Forest Service.

Water is being replenished in nearby Lake Imha and federal water is poured into the bullhead.

About 1,300 people were also employed to extinguish forest fires.

As the winds are expected to rise again from noon, the forest authorities are focusing on evolution, seeing this morning as a golden time.

This wildfire started at about 3:20 pm yesterday at a hillside in Imdong-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongbuk.

When the spread was not serious, the forest authorities issued a second phase of response.

All fire fighting personnel and equipment were mobilized in Daegu and Gyeongnam, Busan and Ulsan, and Daejeon.

However, the topography of the place where the fire was burned was rough and the wind blew hard.

It is estimated that 250㏊ of forest has been lost so far.

Last night, it was counted that 50 residents were evacuated to village halls and other places to escape the fire, but now it has increased to around 100.

Some roads, such as National Route 34, are also controlled.

Forest fires once threatened private houses and even the Gyeongbuk fire school, but fortunately they did not lead to significant damage.

Fire extinguishing work is also in full swing in Gamcheon-myeon, Yecheon-gun, Gyeongbuk.

It started at around 4:10 pm yesterday, and more than 200 residents evacuated, but now the fire is caught and all the residents have returned home.
