According to the Korea Forest Service and the fire department on the 4th, a fire broke out at Cheongnyangsan near Namhansanseong Fortress in Hanam-dong, Hanam-si around 7:43 pm that day.
This fire burned 4,958㎥ (1,500 pyeong) of forest until 8:30 pm on the same day, and even now, the forest fire is expanding to the north of Namhansanseong Fortress.
The firefighting authorities are putting in 27 firefighting equipment and 81 people to extinguish the fire, and the exact amount of damage and casualties are being confirmed.
Fearing that the fire would spread to nearby Namhansan Mountain, the Fire Department ordered the deployment of vehicles on the other side of the summit of Namhansan Mountain, and is conducting reconnaissance activities using a helicopter.
Hanam City Hall sent a safety text message to residents of apartment complexes adjacent to the fire, ‘evacuate immediately to a safe place away from the mountain’.
The fire department will investigate the exact cause and scale of the fire as soon as all flames are extinguished.
