Then, I will connect the reporters who are out of the shelter where the residents have been evacuated overnight.

Reporter Kang Min-woo? (Yes, I am in front of the shelter at Tianjin Elementary School in Goseong, Gangwon-do.) Please tell me what the current situation is.

<Reporter>

Yes. The shelter is about 7 km away from the initial ignition point of the forest fire.

So the flames weren't visible to the naked eye all night, but sometimes I was able to sniff through the wind.

For this reason, tension and anxiety were on the faces of the evacuated residents, but now the residents are listening to the newsletter all night and taking a nap, and now they are eating or returning home. 

Currently, about 50 people remain in the gymnasium in Tianjin-cho, but at one time, around 200 people gathered and exceeded the capacity, so they were able to guide the residents who visited this place to another shelter nearby. 

Last night (1st), the residents I met at the evacuation facility said that they had hurriedly avoided getting a lot of goods at home because of the memories of the Gangwon forest fire last year. 

However, as the day dawned, the news that a full-fledged fire-fighting operation, such as the introduction of a fire-fighting helicopter, began to be heard, and the news that the forest fires were gradually being caught, sweeps the chest and moved home. 

<Anchor> You

said that you evacuated not only reporters and residents from the river but also soldiers from nearby military units?

<Reporter>

Yes, it is. 

Government officials once counted the evacuation of nearly 2,200 people and nearby troops. 

About 1,800 soldiers from the 22nd Army Division were evacuated to the Goseong General Gymnasium and Sokcho Indoor Gymnasium. 

The fire department and the 22nd Division are somewhat distant, but military officials say they have evacuated in advance for preemptive action. 

It was reported that the soldiers who evacuated were to rest at the shelter all night and go to support the fire scene.
