A mountain village in Uljin-eup, Uljin-gun, that was heavily damaged by this wildfire.



Burnt bowls and pots tossed around, and the roof sank helplessly in the fire.



As the fire descended down the hillside, it completely engulfed the private house below.



Victims of the village do not know where to begin with the horrific sight.



[Nam Ok-gyeong / Victims (Uljin-eup, Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do): Water does not come out (at home) because I am at the gym.

The hose melted because it burned.

I got burned like this (around the house).]



County government investigators started to investigate the damage centered on Buk-myeon and Jukbyeon-myeon, Uljin-gun, where forest fire damage was concentrated, including this village.



It is a pre-work for damage recovery and support such as demolition of damaged buildings and disposal of debris.



[Bae Baek-hwan / Uljin-gun Construction Team Leader: Once the damage is investigated and confirmed, there is another procedure to check.

Since the demolition can be done after confirmation, housing expenses will be provided once it is confirmed.]



Uljin-gun plans to receive reports from residents by the 20th and estimate the amount of damage.



Based on this, we determine the specific amount of compensation for damage, such as support for housing expenses.



Uljin-gun is pushing to support agricultural machinery that has not been included in the restoration target so far.



[Kim Hyeong-yeol / Victims (Buk-myeon, Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk): There is no sickle, now.

Even if you want to start farming, you are in a position to have to purchase new farm equipment from one to ten.]



The investigation into the cause of the fire is also accelerating.



Authorities are investigating the people related to the suspect vehicles that passed the first ignition point ahead of a joint investigation involving the National Forensic Service and others the day after tomorrow.
