According to the Mokpo Coast Guard Station on the 27th, a report was received at 8:32 a.m. on the 26th about a fire on a hillside in Daedun-do, Heuksan-myeon, Sinan-gun. Patrol vessels and coastal rescue boats from the local police station were immediately dispatched to the scene.

Upon arrival, the Coast Guard quickly used their own firefighting equipment to extinguish the wildfire spreading toward residential areas, preventing significant damage caused by the fire.

In addition, firefighters and local government authorities mobilized helicopters and made every effort to control the wildfire, while village residents also joined in the firefighting efforts.

Fortunately, by around 3 p.m. that day, most of the large flames were extinguished, and the Coast Guard and firefighters thoroughly eliminated remaining embers at night to prevent the fire from reigniting.
