<Anchor> The



worst wildfire in history continues in the western United States.

It has already burned about 15 times the size of Seoul, but there is no sign of dying.

<Reporter> A



red forest fire that burns on the ridge, and the flames burn trees and blow up ashes toward the sky.



The sky turned black as smoke and ashes hit cities hundreds of kilometers away from forest fires that burned 15 times the area of ​​Seoul.



Even in broad daylight, the smoke that covers the sky hides the sun, and residents feel fear.

Wildfires are spreading beyond California to northern Oregon and Washington.



Only over 40 large fires, enough to burn an entire mountain, are burning simultaneously, with 7 deaths.

It was surrounded by fire.

All roads are burned out.]



The bigger problem is that things are all about things that make evolution difficult.



[Col. Jesse Miller/California National Guard: Record heat waves, low humidity, strong winds and droughts, combined with these conditions, we are experiencing the toughest wildfire situation ever.]



This California wildfire, which is already the largest ever burnt so far, is not expected to extinguish until the end of this year's snow storm, so it is difficult to predict how far the damage will be.
