The fire department is using fire trucks and helicopters to extinguish the fire, but due to dry weather and strong winds, the fire is spreading to nearby mountains.


The Gwangju city government has sent alert messages advising nearby residents and hikers to evacuate to safe areas far from the mountain due to concerns about the wildfire spreading.



The fire department believes the fire started in a nearby field and spread to the mountain, and plans to investigate the exact cause of the fire once the extinguishing efforts are complete.
