Forest fire in Suncheon.
It's forest fire season in Jeollanam-do, with three breaking out today including one on a hill in Gagok-dong up the road from Suncheon National University. I passed it on the bus; video here. Just three three days ago there was a little one in the reeds at Suncheon Bay.

Is this like one of those Arbor Day fires?
As R. Elgin accurately (?) describes it, people clear trees for the graves (out of adherence to geomancy), while other people clear the weeds and other stuff away, which also creates kindling.
And when they're all done, they smoke.
So many major disasters in Korea come down to some a-hole smoking (including the gas explosion during the Taegu subway construction, they believe).
