[Wildfire Breaks Out Near Seosan Oil Reserve Base in South Korea] According to a report released today (February 21) by the South Chungcheong Provincial Fire Department, a wildfire broke out in Seosan City. Firefighters and other departments immediately rushed to the scene to extinguish the blaze. Because the fire originated near the Daeju Resource Reserve Industrial Complex, South Korea's largest national oil reserve facility, strong winds posed a risk of the fire spreading to critical infrastructure, causing high alert among relevant departments. The Seosan Fire Station raised its response level to Level 2 at approximately 4:10 PM local time, mobilizing all available equipment from its jurisdiction and neighboring fire stations to focus on preventing the fire from spreading towards the industrial complex.
