Fatal Wildfire Forces Mass Evacuation in South Korean Coastal City

A wildfire in Gangneung, South Korea, fueled by strong winds, destroyed around 70 homes and other buildings, killed at least one person, and forced hundreds to evacuate. The fire was extinguished after eight hours and nearly 3,000 firefighters, helped by rain that began in the afternoon. The fire was likely sparked by a tree that fell over a powerline after being snapped by strong winds.
