Thick smoke fills the sky in an instant.
In front of the mountain, you can see a large mart and small and large shops.
The wildfire in Yanggu-myeon, Gangwon-do, which started in the daytime yesterday (10th), spread with the wind and descended rapidly to private houses and roads around the night.
[Lee Eun-jin/Informant: On the way we came, the fire continued to be seen.
After one mountain, I see it again, see it again, and see it again and again.]
Citizens passing by the nearby roads in their cars said that they felt threatened by the terrifying forest fire.
[Lee Eun-jin/Reporter: My child is also in high school, and it was like a fire was right in front of the child to the extent that he was so scared…

A wildfire seen next to a moving car, burning as if it would hit the road at any moment.
[Kim Yunjin/Reporter: There is a fire right next to the (road) side, so it looks like it will come down soon, so you can see the fire very close...

Even after entering downtown Yanggu, I could feel the pungent smoke and smell for a while.
[Kim Yunjin/Informant: I think it was so bad that it looked hazy under the streetlight.
When I opened the window on the road, I could smell it.] In
some villages, as the flames spread to the private houses, the residents were afraid that the fire might engulf them all night long.
There were also reports of a forest fire in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, that occurred during the day yesterday.
[Wow, it continues to spread, that fire.]
