The death toll from a wave of wildfires that tore through southeastern region has risen to 18, with one person missing, forest service officials said Wednesday, as firefighters still battled to contain the rapidly spreading blazes.

The fires that began in Sancheong County in South Gyeongsang Province last Friday have spread to nearby Uiseong, and were advancing to neighboring Andong, Cheongsong, Yeongyang and Yeongdeok, fueled by strong and dry winds.

Of the victims, two were found in Andong, three were in Cheongsong, six were in Yeongyang and seven in Yeongdeok, officials said. The remaining one person was missing in Cheongsong.

Look at this BS from the CCP controlled DPK, now pretty clear most of these fires were set for this purpose:

The South Korean opposition party said it would cooperate with government in combating the wildfires on the condition that the government approves the constitutional judges nominated by the opposition party to impeach Pres Yoon. Last year, the opposition party cut the entire budget for disaster preparedness for this year.

More news on the fires, looking more and more as deliberately set.

An oil-like substance was found spilled in Taehaeng Mountain, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province. Plastic containers too

“What makes you think America is better than a Communist country?”

The government does not redistribute your stuff by force. That is subcontracted to black people and instead of armed rebellion, you can just move to a better neighborhood.

“What makes you think America is better than a Communist country?”

KM is close to the thoughtcrime truth that ‘America is a communist country’. From the early days of collective farming and starvation of Jamestown and Plymouth, to the labour board committee regime of FDR (currently being deconstructed), America has a long history of being small ‘c’ communist with Anglo characteristics so to speak. Not that different from Deng’s communism with Chinese characteristics.
