A total of 1,426 people, including 43 pieces of equipment, are currently engaged in extinguishing the fire. The wind strength, which was previously 11m per second, is expected to decrease to 5m per second, which will speed up the evolution work. The forest fire occurred on the 26th at around 2:44 pm in Manisan, Hwado-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon. The fire did not spread to the Manisan Water Purification Temple and surrounding facilities, which hold state-designated treasures such as the temple. As of 6:00 am, the length of the flames is 2.2 km, and the forest fire extinguishing rate is 86%. The Forest Service plans to utilize all available resources to complete the evolution of the main fire by this morning. @ KWANGJU BROADCASTING COMPANY, all rights reserved.
