The wildfire that swept the east coast of Gangwon-do last year is just one year today (4th). At the time, the damage was quite serious, but the recovery was not yet done so the residents were exhausted. Corona, there's a lot of time in elections, but it's time to watch out for fire.

The fireworks that started from the telephone pole switcher were spread out of control by the strong wind.

Overnight, the fire from Goseong to Sokcho and Gangneung to Donghae devoured numerous forests and houses.


A year later, the mountain stalks that Hwama swept through, cut down the wood that had been burned and became a huge mountain of Mindong.

I planted young trees, but it's only 8% of the time and it ends in 2 years.

Displaced people still could not escape the container home.

Of the 1,524 forest fire victims, more than 64, more than 980, still live in temporary or rental housing like this one year later.

[Choi Bok-hee / Forest Fire Jaemin: It's cold. What can you say? The container house was funny. I lived with a cold.]

I want to build a new house quickly, but it is not easy.

Of the 416 renovations, only 96 were rebuilt, and more than 40, 179 were not even designed.

[Choi Hae-hae / Forest Fire Lee Jae-min: I am evacuated because of fire, and because of water. So I'm scared when it comes to obesity. Yes, I'm going to have to go in before the summer.]

KEPCO, which provided the cause of the forest fire, agreed to pay 60% of the damages in consultation with local governments and the victims, but the payment of the government's right to reimbursement for KEPCO is entangled and payment is being delayed.

[Jung Seong-Bong / Forest Fire Lee Jae-Min: I can't think of it because I don't have enough money. I have to build a house quickly, but if I look at the place like this, it's so amazing.]

Displaced people are exhausting their minds when there is no promise of when to regain their old life.
