A wildfire that broke out in a wooded hillside in Uiseong County, North Gyeongsang, was fully extinguished after 18 hours, forest authorities said on Sunday.
Animals have also been severely affected by a wildfire in Uiseong, North Gyeongsang, now in its third day, as fast-moving flames left many pets and livestock trapped without a chance to escape.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday thanked the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) that was dispatched to North America a month ago to join the international teams in fighting off the wildfire.
At 11:15 a.m. on March 4, white smoke appeared near the road, and the flame instantly spread to the mountain in Buk-myeon, Uljin County, North Gyeongsang.
