Large Wildfire Burns on Mt. Surak in Northern Seoul
Mt. Surak is the large mountain that rises above Camp Stanley. This fire though appears to be burning on the northern Seoul area of the mountain opposite from the camp:
A big fire broke out on Mount Surak in northern Seoul Thursday, firefighters said, with no casualties having been reported so far.
Firefighters said they were struggling to contain the fire that started at around 9:08 p.m., with a long ribbon of fire forming near the top of a ridge.
The exact cause of the wind-fed forest fire is not yet known, but the size of the blaze is quite large, they added. [Yonhap]

Ick, just took a virtual walk on Daum through the Stanley Ville, place is a outright ghetto now.
I remember the first time I walked up the hill as a part of the 304th advon after DivArty rolled out. They had all these banners out and practically every store was still open. Apparently someone from USFK snookered them into thinking they were going to sustain the same population level there.
Who’s left there now? Just WRC and a Trans unit right? No CH not that kinda Trans… 😛
A trans unit in the military? Thanks, Obama!
