The smoke is rising from the mountain side, but as the evolution continues, this place is showing a lull.

Forest authorities put 32 wildfire-fired helicopters and 3,400 wildfire-fighting personnel into the field at dawn, and the current rate of evolution is 90%.

During the night, the wind is getting weaker at about 1 ~ 2m per second, and the air pressure is lowering.

The fire that started at a mountain in Pungcheon-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, was burned by burning 200ha, including forests, at around 3:40 pm.

About 1,200 villagers in the vicinity of the forest fire were evacuated to the Youth Training Center, and all were taken home this morning.

Some of the buildings in the neighborhood, including three houses and four green houses, were burned down, but human casualties have not been reported.

As the fire spread, the section from Seoan-dong IC to Nam-an-dong IC, which was controlled in both directions from yesterday afternoon, resumed traffic at 9 am today.

The fire did not spread to nearby Byeongsan Seowon and Hahoe villages, but the forest authorities are preparing for the emergency.
