< 13. Wildfire (4) >

Is this what they call a destiny reunion?

Ko Eun Thread had a rescue team that came up through the sea of fire, and I couldn't believe the situation in which he was even an elementary school alumni.

Just a minute ago, I was desperate.

Two people risking their lives went down in the blink of an eye, and the phones kept ringing. I only had to grumble at the sky about where to go to the fire that spread to the shelter.

“Jungwoo, were you a firefighter? The dinner says · · ·"

“Eun-sil.”

“Huh?"

“Let's go down there safely to discuss the details. Nice to meet you, anyway."

“Huh? Yeah, me too. ”

Jungwoo's gaze toward the bottom of the mountain was very serious.

This dazzling coincidence seems that destiny has yet to reach its happy ending.

“Gather around! I'll give you some firefighting gear. ”

Looking back at Jungwoo's face in one of his crew's shouts, the chamber moves behind him like everyone else.

“They'll block the smoke and heat. ”

A man appeared to be the oldest among the crew handing out flame retardant masks and fiberglass blankets with special plastic covering his head.

“I'm Rescue Team Leader Kim Jae-ho. Wear it and answer it. We need to get an ID and report it to the Situation Room. What are you all doing here in the middle of the mountain? ”

“We were in an endangered animal, a plant care vehicle in the area. One is a journalist who came out to cover our work. ”

The head and two employees of the National Parks Service Department of Eco-recovery and a veterinarian assisted by the Animal Protection Association. And a reporter from the Ministry of Social Affairs.

Kim Jae-ho listened to the radio.

“Situation room. Situation room. Rescue team one, five isolators in total. Preparing to deploy now. ”

Cheers.

- Are you hurt?

“No. The list of rescuers is · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Manager Jeongyeon Nam approached Kim Jae-ho after a quick report.

“Mount Seolmak Rescue is located southwest of here. If you tell them, they'll give us a helicopter. It's a pact with the Parks Service. ”

“We also arrived in our first helicopter. We wouldn't have climbed across this flame if we had access. ”

Kim Jae-ho opened his mouth to people who didn't seem to know the seriousness of the situation yet.

“Let me briefly tell you about the situation in the area. ”

The more I listened, the more serious the head of the rescue team explained.

It is the most dangerous place in the area declared as a Wildfire disaster. If we do not evacuate soon, we will most likely lose our lives to fire and toxic gases, and we will also break through the burning lines that are spreading.

The five isolated in the shelter lost their words at the same time.

“Uh, how could this happen? ”

He looks at the flaming forest with a hollow face.

A mid-30s man who was holding the camera like a lifeline on one side asked Kim Jae-ho in a bewildered look.

“Are you crazy to jump into a pit of fire? That's what the 119th Pilot would say? ”

Kim Jae-ho's expression was not shaken at all, even though the man's attitude sounded irritating.

“You said you were a journalist. ”

“Dongmyung Ilbo St. Lyle. ”

“I have a question for you when the reporters come to the accident scene. Was the structure the best? ”

Saint-Lyle is trembling with fear. Kim Jae-ho calmly said, looking at others who were the same.

“The best rescue workers in a life-threatening disaster may not be the right answer. By the way, who's to say the best response in this mess is the best? Are we the reporters? A third party who has never experienced this situation? ”

Saint-Lyle was unable to answer the question of the head of the rescue team.

“I would like to give you one piece of advice that I think would be best for you to experience this situation a little bit more. If you see a high chance of surviving, act quickly. It's a hundred times better than just rolling your feet. But if you don't know how... ”

Kim Jae-ho's gaze was towards Jungwoo looking down the mountain.

“Find the one person in this hell who seems to be the safest survivor. And follow the reaper. That's how I and my team got here, and that's how we're going to survive here. ”

One rescue team that lowered the steep slopes and five rescuers faced two swirling flames with the strength to uproot the tree.

Dead-end.

All the way down from the peak, I encountered a lot of frustrating fires, but this was especially worse. The only visible light was the red flame.

Finding your way in a place like this is a common sense. However, people looked at one person with hope in their work.

“We have to jump in there. ”

You wink at this sound.

Kim Jae-ho next to Jungwoo asked.

“It looks like there's a lot more fire than anywhere else. If I have to go, I'll lead the crew with the evolutionary equipment. Lee Hyun Kim, Dongmyung Park! ”

“No, the east combustion line is thicker. If you want to use it to break through, you must save as much medicine as possible. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“The fire is concentrated, so it's safe here behind you for a while. ”

Even Kim Jae-ho, who trusted Jungwoo constantly, had a suspicious look on his face and the flame in front of him was so threatening.

Jungwoo saw the two airstreams beginning to become entangled and said.

“You'll see the timing. You have about 20 seconds to get through. Distance is approximately 50 meters. ”

Due to the dark smoke, those who had no idea where this place was or which way to live would only listen to Jungwoo's voice.

It was a jungle that lets its neck rest screaming on the way, but there was no time to rest to encourage their pessimistic energy in this dreadful heat.

“Is there anyone here who can't radio in 50 meters and 20 seconds? I'm sorry, but you have to run now. Run, run, and fall. I'm counting! Three, two..."

Choo-wook.

All kinds of branches and sparks around me were caught in a whirlwind and rose high in the sky. People's eyes widened during the unexpected timing.

“· · · Day! Run!”

Jungwoo's scream caused the crew to whip the smoke and rush ahead. The way he secures it begins to follow the rescuers.

Jungwoo, who followed at the rear of the camp, was able to calculate the reaction rate by watching the oxygen being rapidly sucked into the blazing space.

"Not 20 seconds. 15 seconds. No, 10 seconds? ’

It was not normal to rotate your head while your breath was full to your chin.

Those who were running in the rear were the lead and the crown thread. Among them, it was not a matter of whether they were intentionally aligned to protect themselves.

“Eun-sil, faster! ”

“I'm on my way. ”

“When I was a kid, I used to beat the kids up and let them run. ”

“When did you say that? You're a little taller, aren't you? ”

“No. In five seconds, there's going to be a fire here. ”

The eyes of the running vault widen. Jungwoo pushes her back as fast as he can.

“If you go through this smoke, you'll see a big tree. Hide right behind me. ”

The crew arrives first, situated behind a tree that has not yet been lit.

“This way!”

One or two arrivals dodged next to the crew, and the whirlpool of flames, which disappeared, reappears back into place with a heavy wind.

Bloop!

Flames flew out of the tongue, covering the back of Jungwoo. The hot energy is wrapped around the latest fire jacket that was released.

“Run, run! ”

In front of you, the quarterback grabs the arm of the high thread and drags it to the side of the tree. Jungwoo also flew behind the tree.

Soon after escaping the flames behind, Jungwoo yells, pointing to the top.

“Watch out for the fire! This is big too!”

Storm of fire behind your back, tornado of fire above your head.

He curled up and said, covering one of the coats, setting it over the back of the high thread, shaking the bars.

“It'll be over soon. ”

“Jungwoo You · · · · · · · · · · · ·. Are you okay?"

“Even though the fire looks that scary, the combustion reaction is honest. Fuel, oxygen, wind. One in three will soon extinguish the flame. ”

Saint-Lyle, who was clinging to the floor, felt calmer in the middle of this, the voice of one analyzing the situation calmly than anyone else.

At this moment of confusion, when I thought I was closest to death, there was something catching my eye about the young man's act of overlapping his mantle with another.

Maybe it's the journalist's instincts.

Reflexively, Sung Lyle stamped his chest to open the camera's flash case and continued to photograph the young man.

The fire that was falling stops.

“Let's go! Gobi's over. Moving east! ”

(Interview: Son Dong-ju)

“I guess I was wrong when the rescue party showed up in the fire. No, I thought it was a dream. ”

- Speaking of the Chief of Rescue, he was lucky to find it on a helicopter patrol.

“Luck? I don't know. If it was luck, we might not have been able to save you. I have a question. How the hell did you get out of there? You were there, too. ”

- This is your interview.

“Come on, tell me. All other articles are speculative. You're the only one who knows the details. What, you can't even talk to me because it's a specialty? ”

- That's not true. I just don't know what to call it yet. · · · · · · Walked in the fire and walked again relying on only one person's voice.

“You mean the chemist? ”

That's when my experience decided to cover this story.

PM 11: 30 - The best answer from a chemist

On the outskirts of the command center, outside the lines of control, there were a lot of news vehicles for the broadcaster.

“Over five hours now, there are thousands of firefighters and dozens of helicopters in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, all ready to go. The power to vibrate the smell of burning even 5 kilometers away from where the wildfires are underway · · · · · ·. ”

“Forest Service experts have said that early evolution failed because fires spread at an astonishing rate across the slopes and canyons. Currently, foreclosure is expected to be from 20 to up to 50ha. ”

During the emergency news of each station, someone folded up and boarded the news vehicle and disappeared.

“What? Where's JBN going? ”

“The outcome of the countermeasure is imminent, and there's no place more important than here. ”

One of the reporters who was talking like that called.

“Yes, sir. A central fire rescue team was deployed to rescue five people who were stranded at the fire? Unknown?”

Some reporters received a text.

[Forest Service is on their way to collaborate on the rescue of the evolution group. incense wand east.]

One or two new sources have sent word.

Circumstances that may include rescuers or group victims.

The broadcast station divided the coverage, and the sophisticated place was troubled, and half of it escaped.

After walking through the smoke that could not be distinguished even an inch in advance, I couldn't tell how much time had passed.

The thread follows behind the man in front of it. Tears of smoke continue to squeeze through the gaps in the flame mask, and the fire around my ankle is just trampled on without worrying that it's going to be hot.

“Come to your senses. ”

Jungwoo grabs her twitching arm.

The iron thread stopped realizing the move I was about to make on a branch full of fire.

“Oh, sorry. ”

“I think you inhaled too much smoke. Wait a minute."

With the sound of the crack, something glitters in your vision and disappears. As the smoke that filled the front of the mask disappeared, the tears stopped somewhat.

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The rescuer who was walking earlier approached Jungwoo and gave him the radio.

“Jungwoo. I'm the horse commander.”

Cheers.

What are you talking about?

The slightly clearer head of the thread was frozen at the side of Jungwoo who was on the radio.

- A 1.5-fold increase in burn points? In an hour?

“Above all, the wind is too severe. The thinnest east is now three fireheads. I've seen a lot of fires going off into the mountains beyond the blockade. ”

All right, I'll drop the car off, so get to the situation room as soon as you get to the safe zone.

It was a very important and serious conversation. Jungwoo's expression was dark. As she continues to stare, Jung turns her head and smiles boldly.

“We're fine. We're almost out of here. ”

“How do you know the way so well? ”

“Well, technically, it's chemical. It's hard to explain.”

In this answer, I finally remembered the text that was sent by my colleague, Soon-chan, who I had just contacted.

[My Jungwoo? She's so hot. You're a big business researcher. KG Chemistry.]

He said he was definitely a researcher. When I think about it as a child, I think it's a profession that doesn't suit me at all, but I was more than just an expert.

“You're Jungwoo, right? ”

“Why? You don't think so? ”

I came to a strange place and continued to overlap all the time with the old, kind and caring appearance that first reached out to her without a friend.

“No, it doesn't matter. ”

“What are you talking about? Watch your head. ”

As you watch out for the occasional spill of fire, the group walks away restlessly.

It's been about five minutes.

I could only hear each other breathing heavily in the smoke. You hear a high-toned animal cry, blubbering somewhere.

The threads curl their ears and wander around.

“Mr. Nam, is this... ”

“That's right. That's the sound of rain. ”

Class 2 endangered wildlife. It was one of the species they were observing and investigating at the censer.

Jungwoo stopped walking earlier.

“There's something over there. On our way. ”

As you advance further, you see a 30 cm gallstone above the ash writhing with difficulty breathing.

Someone's flash light shines a blanket. Nam Jeongyeon stood nearby and said.

“It's not an adult. These youngsters must have a mother by their side, probably in this fire. ”

“Oops.”

Jungwoo filled his tongue with a prediction that his parents would be dead. Ko Eun Thread grips Dam's arm as if he's feeling sorry for Dam because his strength is weak.

“The only thing that looks mild is the top predator. ”

Dambi, who noticed people's approach, said, "Gaaaak, and showed wildlife." The dying one revealed the sharpness that would bite if someone approached him.

Ko Eun-sil carefully examined the body of Dambi and said.

“It's more like smoke poisoning than burns. ”

Jungwoo kicked his tongue.

“These wildfires are the same disaster for these kids. ”

Kim Jae-ho, the leading man, told people.

“We don't have time to wait. Capture or go. ”

While I had to keep moving, I couldn't afford to pay any attention to Damby, who was revealing her enemies.

As everyone began to leave, Jungwoo looked at the rain and reached out to the air.

“Tsk, go away with the smoke. ”

“What are you · · doing? ”

You scratch your chin with a shrugged gaze that settles on the question of the thread.

“Just.”

Parker.

A white flash of light flashes around the dam, completely different from the dung. When I breathed heavily and breathed heavily, I felt calm and steady.

A small creature that suffered in the middle of a forest swallowed by a flowering horse.

The footsteps of those farther to the other side are blown with their black eyes.

“Oh, aren't you crazy? Who the hell is going through this? ”

The military bureaucracy's Forest Service deployment was unbelievable in front of a 20-meter fire-hole forest.

We wait for orders, but 12 Evolutionaries risk being swept away instead of conquering this flame.

“Sir. Shouldn't we retreat? We've waited an hour. The fire should be here soon." ”

“I'm seriously thinking about it, too. Hit me on the radio. ”

I called the Situation Room and waited, but the radio flashed.

Cheers.

-Evolcanoes waiting on the east fire line. Can you hear me?

“What?”

The hibernation ceremony pressed the radio transmission button with a surprised look.

“This is the Forest Service Evolution Facility. Who are you?”

- Rescue team Kim Jae-ho. We're about to break through the incinerator with the demanders. When the light is visible to the naked eye, focus the evolution equipment as far as possible.

“He's in there? ”

What was absurd happened, but it was not a time to be fascinated. Leftovers commanded all of the crew carrying the backpacking pump to wait in front.

“Where are you? Where are you? ”

Keep an eye on the blazing flames for one minute. The flame of a point wafts like a candle. In addition, the flash light begins to glow.

“Hey! Focus! ”

A stream of water in the backpack pump shoots towards a point.

On the other side, a small path was created between the fire oceans by firing compressed evolutionary equipment.

“Shoot, shoot! Pour it in!”

Soon more than a dozen people walked out of the fire.

Cheers.

- This promotion. Have you met him? Are they all right? They're like a swarm of reporters over there. Please tell me you're okay.

I heard the radio from the chief of Ohsun.

I looked at those who survived the fire with an unbelievable look on their faces.

“Are you sure it's all there? How many people in total? Report from the Situation Room. ”

The firefighter in the ‘Watch out for the Wildfire’ helmet, who came out from the very end, answered the question of the transfer ceremony.

“Ah, eleven of me ·”

While answering, something black protruded from the firefighter's feet and swiftly grazed the side of the ceremony. The transfer ceremony jumped sideways in shock.

Firefighters are like, "Huh? ’I was surprised,' he said.

“· · · and one mortgage. ”
