Acting Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said on the 27th, "The worst forest fire in history has caused tens of thousands of evacuees," and urged the acting Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Ko Gi-dong, to remain in the Gyeongbuk region and oversee related operations until the fire is controlled to ensure that disaster relief and support proceeds without interruption.
Acting Prime Minister Han noted, "I am concerned about the elderly, including patients in nursing homes among the evacuees," and requested, "Please ensure the health and safety of the evacuees on-site and operate an efficient support system to prevent exhaustion among firefighting personnel and volunteers."
