Then, let's take a look at the current state of shelter where residents of Goseong are staying away from the flames. Reporters are out in the shelter. 

Reporter Kang Min-woo. (Yes, it's at Tianjin Elementary School in Goseong, Gangwon-do.) Please tell me about the shelter there.

<Reporter>

Yes, this shelter is about 7km away from the first ignition point.

So the flames were not visible to the naked eye, but I was able to smell the strong wind.

For this reason, tension and anxiety were strong in the faces of the evacuated residents.

There are about 200 residents evacuated here, listening to the news bulletins and praying for the loss of lives and property.

Many of the residents I met at the evacuation facility here said that the last year's Gangwon Forest fire was a rush to evacuate without remembering and packing a lot of items at home.

As many of the neighbors evacuated, I was especially attracted to the gymnasium of Tianjin Elementary School where I am currently present, so it is difficult to accept it anymore.

If you are evacuating now, it would be better to head to Tianjin 2-ri Village Hall or Ayajin Elementary School.

<Anchor> You

have evacuated not only the residents but also the soldiers of the nearby military units?

<Reporter>

Yes, it is. So far, government officials have counted as many as 2,200 people evacuated from nearby residents and military forces.

More than 1,800 soldiers from the 22nd Army Division are also 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 as a precautionary measure.

The evacuated military officers are expected to take sufficient rest and begin supporting fire sites as the sun shines.
