Some 300 residents and 700 tourists in Gangneung, Gangwon, were evacuated due to
the wild fire that has been spreading aggressively because of typhoon level
wind. 
 
The fire has already destroyed over 60 houses as well as several cultural
heritage.  
 




Some 15 schools have been closed.  
 
The fire department and the forest agency raised the emergency to level 3, the
highest of a total of three. Currently over 1,400 firefighters are dispatched. 
 
The wind velocity was around 30 meters per second, which is common during a
typhoon.
 
The strong wind is reported to have grounded all fire fighting helicopters.  
 
The Gangneung city government on Tuesday sent out an alert to nearby residents
at 9:35 a.m. after a fire broke out at a nearby mountain in Nangok-dong an hour
earlier.
