Forest fire in Korea..!? Helicopter lost in flames..!?

A wildfire has unexpectedly broken out in south korea, which is always in the news for tensions with North Korea. The kind of fire usually seen in Western countries is now engulfing this country. The tragedy is that the rescue helicopter that went to put out this fire also crashed in the fire.
A wildfire has broken out in Uisang County, South Korea. These fires are raging. They are traveling at a speed of a few kilometers per hour. The 1,300-year-old Geunsa temple was also burned down due to these. However, once a fire starts, it is very difficult to stop it. Fires occur due to climate change and human error. Once they start, they continue to burn for several days. Even if they are extinguished in one place, the fire will flare up in another place. This is evidenced by the fact that 43,000 acres of land in south korea have been reduced to ashes.
Currently, more than 10,000 firefighters and civil servants are engaged in extinguishing the Uisang fire in South Korea. Several thousand people have been evacuated. It is said that about a third of the fire has been contained. The fire is actively spreading in many areas of North and South Gyeongsang and the city of Ulsan. South Korean prime minister and Acting President Han Duk-soo described the fire as the most deadly. It is known that the South Korean president recently resigned. Meanwhile, a helicopter sent to stop the fire crashed and the pilot died. About 19 people died due to the fire. We can quickly extinguish fires only if there is no wind anywhere. Now, a fire is raging in south korea due to dry winds. The authorities are having difficulty controlling it.
