At about half past 5, the sun seems to rise, but the policy is to mobilize all possible helicopters.

37 helicopters are mobilized from all agencies, including the fire department and the Ministry of National Defense.

During the Goseong Wildfire last year, Goseong, Sokcho, Inje, etc. had multiple fires and fires during the fire. .

However, there are safety issues as dozens of helicopters are put in one place.

The plan is to divide the helicopters into 5 teams and designate 5 different reservoirs to prevent accidents.
