Hundreds of people were displaced in Uljin alone due to the forest fire in Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, which lasted for nearly ten days.

The fire has gone out, but those who have lost their home are at a loss as to how they will live in the future.



Reporter Park Ye-rin covered the scene.

The village was surrounded by mountains on three sides and suffered heavy forest fire damage in Uljin-gun.



This is the place where 20 out of 28 households were burnt down in one day as a fire raged on the last 4 days.



The village the reporters returned to after ten days was still miserable.



The windows melted, leaving only the skeleton of the chair and TV.



Some houses have collapsed pillars to such an extent that the shape is unrecognizable.



Now that the fire is out, the victims have to go back to their homes, but as you can see, not only farm equipment but also household necessities were all burned up, leaving the victims at a loss for words.



[Junsu Jeon/Shinhwa 2-ri, Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do: It is the most necessary for the elderly who have lost their livelihood to have a home.

Since spring has come and we have to start farming, there are no farm machinery or anything like that...

Another mountain village in which 51 out of 59 households suffered major and minor damage.



Most of the residents, who make a living by farming, are at a loss for how to make a living.



[Jang Jung-hwa / Sogok 1-ri, Uljin, Gyeongbuk: Farming starts in April.

Whether there are seeds or agricultural machinery, there is nothing (I'm worried.)]



353 houses were burned in the Uljin forest fire, and 335 people were injured.



The government and local governments plan to provide 195 temporary prefabricated houses and support housing and living expenses.



However, it is not enough for the residents who have lost their livelihood.



[Jeonho-dong / Shinhwa 2-ri, Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do: Wouldn’t it be too difficult if you only give a prefab house, without a refrigerator, TV, or washing machine…
