Previously, on the 23rd, the Ministry had allocated 2.6 billion KRW in special disaster grants to these regions for wildfire response.


This additional support takes into account the rapid increase in firefighting resources deployed and the scale of damage caused by the wildfire spread. The special grants will be used for personnel and equipment for wildfire suppression, disposal of facility debris, and emergency relief for affected residents.



Ko Gi-dong, Acting Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, stated, "We will spare no necessary support to ensure that wildfire suppression and damage recovery proceed swiftly."
