[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] President Moon Jae-in gave an urgent order on the 1st regarding the wildfire in Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, saying, "Be thorough in evacuating residents and ensure complete evacuation of houses at the foot of the mountain and the elderly." President Moon added, "Predict the direction of wildfire suppression and evacuate the expected local residents in advance if necessary."



President Moon emphasized, "Since there are difficulties in extinguishing the wildfire at night, make efforts to delay the spread to residential areas, but also pay special attention to the safety of firefighting personnel," and added, "Be thorough in preparing to mobilize all firefighting resources such as helicopters to quickly extinguish the wildfire at sunrise."
