Kim Yungrok, Governor of Jeollanam-do, said, "I offer my condolences to those who lost their lives while fighting the wildfires in Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam, and extend my deepest sympathies to the disaster victims and local residents who are facing great hardship due to the wildfires. I hope this donation will be of some help in the recovery and restoration of the affected communities."

So far, Jeollanam-do has urgently deployed three firefighting helicopters, 118 firefighting personnel, and 24 firefighting vehicles to the wildfire sites in Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam and Uiseong-gun, Gyeongbuk, making every effort within its capacity to extinguish the fires and prevent their spread.
