Reporter Park Se-won, has the momentum of the Uljin wildfire been dampened?
<Reporter>
Yes, it seems that the fire is being extinguished little by little due to the aggressive firefighting work of the forest authorities.
The Uljin Forest Fire Field Command Headquarters continued firefighting work even at night following the election counting.
The fire rate has been raised to 75%, and 9 out of 14 wildfire zones have been extinguished.
In particular, the forestry authorities said that the fire in the mountainous area of Eungbongsan Mountain, where the strength of the forest fire was strong, has softened considerably.
The authorities put out about 400 firefighters at night and suppressed the fire by flying drones and spraying water.
A little while ago, 82 helicopters were sequentially deployed and continued to evolve.
Some of the 146 victims who stayed at the Uljin National Sports Center moved to a hotel or village hall on the afternoon of the 9th, and Uljin-gun is also pursuing a plan to provide them with living expenses and temporary housing.
