From now on, let's take a look at the news of the East Coast wildfires.

The wildfire that started in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do is still not extinguished.

We will connect with reporters who are at the Uljin site to find out about the current situation.



Reporter Yerin Park, is the evolution work continuing?



<Reporter>



Yes, I am standing in front of the Shillabi Memorial Hall in Uljin, where the command headquarters for the fire site is located.



Forestry authorities are still working on extinguishing the fire.



To prevent the flames from spreading to private homes overnight, about 1,300 firefighters and fire trucks have been deployed throughout.



If the wind blows inland, the fire could spread to pine forests or private houses at any time, so we could not let go of the tension for even a moment.



The forestry authorities are planning to deploy 76 helicopters from a short time later to speed up the firefighting process.



Yesterday (8th), as the evolution work continued all day, the evolution rate of Uljin area has risen to 65%.



The Geumgangpine community, which is several hundred years old and considered as an important forest resource, was once in danger.



The fire took the east wind around 10 am yesterday and crossed the boundary of the colony about 100 meters, and some pine trees were burned.



The authorities immediately put out two super-helicopters and crew to put out the fire, but it was explained that the damage was not great as it was far from the core area where the old pine trees were dense.
