Forest Fire on Mt. Inwangsan Completely Extinguished

Great job by the firefighters in Seoul for quickly putting out this forest fire before any property damage in the city could occur:

A wildfire on a mountain in central Seoul was completely put out Monday afternoon after 25 hours, authorities said.

The fire started on Mount Inwang, a popular trekking spot in the central ward of Jongno, shortly before noon Sunday and spread rapidly due to strong wind, temporarily forcing about 120 households to evacuate, according to the Seoul city government. No injuries or deaths have been reported.
