<Anchor> The

fire that started in a house in Goseong, Gangwon-do yesterday evening (1st) is currently spreading through the strong winds to the surrounding mountains and villages. Firefighting authorities responded to the second stage, and the Forest Service issued a serious stage of forest fire disaster. Prime Minister Jung Se-gyun ordered the use of manpower and equipment as much as possible to extinguish the forest fire. I will connect with reporter Won Seok-jin of G1, who is out on the site of a forest fire in Goseong.

Reporter Won Seok-jin, please tell us the situation.

Yes, I'm at Dowon-ri, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun.

In the back of the road where I stand, the fiery flames spread through the gusts of wind.

The sky was full of cloudy smoke.

The rapidly spreading wildfire amid strong winds began to spread in a house in Dowon 1-ri, Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun, yesterday at 8:10 pm.

Currently, the wildfire spread to Dowon 1-ri Dohak Elementary School, 2.5 km from the first ignition point, and three private houses were burned.

Fortunately, no human injury has been reported so far.

About 3 hours ago, Goseong-gun urgently evacuated residents of Dowon-ri, Hakya-ri, and Unbong-ri in Toseong-myeon, Goseong-gun to Tianjin Elementary School.

At 12 o'clock at night, 1,213 firefighters, including 284 firefighters, were involved.

In addition, 64 fire trucks and 21 fire trucks are on the scene, and it is expected that more firefighting equipment will be added.

Gangwon-do's firefighting headquarters said it was preventing the spread of forest fires to nearby areas rather than upgrading the firefighters' system to the second level and catching the main fire.

I will tell you again.
