In South Korea, a devastating wildfire in Uiseong county last month marked the country’s largest and deadliest blaze on record. The fire displaced over 30,000 individuals, a significant number considering the rural and aging demographic of the affected area. Experts noted the unusual scale and speed of the Uiseong fire’s spread. The flames ravaged the region, destroying historic temples and homes across mountainous North Gyeongsang. With climate change projected to increase the frequency and severity of such wildfires globally, the incident in South Korea serves as a stark reminder of the growing threat.
