On March 28th local time, the South Korean Forest Agency and the Central Disaster Safety Countermeasure Headquarters successively issued notices updating the situation of large-scale forest fires that continue to ravage areas such as Gyeongsang do. ​
On the 28th, the South Korean Forest Agency reported that the affected area of large-scale forest fires in Gyeongsang do and other places has reached 48000 hectares, with a current fire extinguishing rate of 83%. South Korea will invest all available resources to extinguish the main fire on the 28th. According to the Central Disaster Safety Countermeasure Headquarters on the 28th, as of 6:00 local time on the 28th, 5 people have been injured in the large-scale forest fire in the southeastern region, including 1 seriously injured. So far, the number of injured in this large-scale wildfire has increased to 37, with 28 deaths. ​
The wildfire was first ignited on March 21st in Sanqing County, Gyeongsangnam do. Subsequently, multiple incidents occurred in Gyeongsangnam do, Gyeongsangbuk do, Ulsan and other places
Rising forest fires. Due to the dry air in the area, the highest wind speed reaches 10 to 15 meters per second, with an average wind speed of over 7 meters per second. In addition, the fire occurred in mountainous terrain with an altitude of 650-950 meters and many rocks, which greatly hindered the firefighting work of firefighters. ​
After the fire broke out, South Korea responded quickly. On the 22nd, the then Acting President and Minister of Planning and Finance of South Korea, Choi Sang mu, instructed the Mountain Forest Agency to use all available resources and cooperate with multiple departments to extinguish the wildfires as soon as possible and ensure the safety of personnel. On the same day, the South Korean Ministry of Administrative Security announced that Ulsan City, North Gyeongsangbuk Province, and South Gyeongsangnam Province had entered a "disaster state" and activated the Central Disaster Security Countermeasure Headquarters. Afterwards, the South Korean Forest Agency issued a national crisis alert for wildfire disasters, with the highest level of "severe". The South Korean National Heritage Agency also issued the highest level of national heritage disaster crisis alert nationwide. ​
In the firefighting operation, South Korea deployed a large number of manpower and equipment. On the 28th, a total of 126 helicopters, nearly 7000 personnel, and 936 firefighting equipment participated in the firefighting work. Although some areas where wildfires occurred received a small amount of precipitation from the evening of the 27th to the early morning of the 28th, as of 5:00 am on the 28th, there were still six wildfires continuing to burn. In addition, the large-scale wildfire has forced 33000 residents to be urgently evacuated, and as of now, more than 8000 disaster victims are unable to return home. At the same time, 23 Korean national heritage sites were burned down by wildfires, and 3481 homes, factories, facilities, etc. were also destroyed by wildfires. Among them, the Gyeongsangbuk do area suffered the most losses, reaching 2296. ​
The South Korean Central Disaster Safety Countermeasure Headquarters pointed out that until the end of April, dry and strong wind weather will continue, and large-scale wildfires are likely to occur repeatedly. Relevant departments need to make sufficient preparations in advance. disaster
