The fires are believed to be South Korea&#8217;s deadliest on record, officials said, adding that the inferno has burned through more than 35,000 hectares (86,500 acres).<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;We are nationally in a critical situation with numerous casualties because of the unprecedented rapid spread of forest fires,&#8221; acting President Han Duck-soo told a government response meeting. Officials suspect human error caused several of the wildfires, citing cases where people started fires while clearing overgrown grass from family tombs or with sparks during welding work.<\/p>\n<p>South Korea Forest Lim Sang-seop said a small amount of rain was expected in the area on Thursday, not enough to play a big role in extinguishing the wildfires. Lee Han-kyung, deputy head of the government&#8217;s disaster response center, told a meeting Thursday that the wildfires have again disclosed &#8221;the reality of climate crisis that we have yet experienced,&#8221; according to Yonhap news agency.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/south-korea-wildfires-now-largest-and-deadliest-on-record\/a-72053251\">Deutsche Welle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-688\/\">South Korea wildfires now largest and deadliest on record<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,5550,3633],"class_list":["post-138628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-south-korea","tag-wildfires"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138628\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
