Forest fires in the DMZ, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, continued to spread for four days, and the Forest Service mobilized 11 fire-fighting helicopters on the 29th to evolve.
On the 26th, at the 12th day of the day, the Forest Service Central Fire Prevention Countermeasure Headquarters announced that 11 helicopters (3 extra large, 8 large) were evolving with sunrise to extinguish the forest fires that occurred in DMZ, Sinseo-myeon, Yeoncheon-gun.
The forest fire spreads over 3.8 km and spreads in 300 bands in three locations.
Fortunately, it did not spread to the south of the southern limit of private houses.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
It is difficult to estimate the exact damage area because the location of the forest fire is within the DMZ.
An official from the Korea Forest Service said, "We are putting all of the available fire-fighting resources into full effort to complete the main fire evolution this morning."
