Deadly Wildfires Burn in the Southeastern Portion of South Korea

It is not often South Korea is hit with deadly wildfires like they are currently experiencing:

At least four people were killed, six people were injured and some 1,500 people were evacuated as wildfires fueled by strong winds have scorched areas of the nation’s southeastern region, disaster authorities said Sunday.

The fire began in Sancheong County, about 250 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on Friday and spread to other parts. 

Of the six people who were injured, five were seriously harmed. All victims were found in Sancheong, according to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.

The majority of forest fires in today’s world are arson. The severity is due to poor forrest management, generally a zero-fire policy in a forrest that needs occassional small fires instead of less frequent big ones.

This is quite easy to demonstrate statistically and graphically.

The media spins it as global warming.

Tragic. My earlier comment about the tents was before I read this post.

I hope the right lessons are learned. And I hope it was not CCP agents who started the fires.
