 An eyewitness captured dramatic footage while driving through a wildfire in South Korea's eastern coastal city of Gangneung on April 11, as local authorities said more than 500 people were evacuated from their homes in the area. Video obtained by Reuters showed the eyewitness point of view while driving through a large area burning in strong flames, with the orange sky covered in thick smoke. The blaze, which started at around 8.30 am local time in Gangneung, was mostly extinguished as of 4.30 pm, after consuming 170 hectares of land and prompting the evacuation of some 550 residents in the city of more than 200,000 people, the Korea Forest Service said.
