South Korean authorities on Sunday confirmed that the massive wildfires that devastated the North and South Gyeongsang provinces of the country last week have now been fully contained. 

“The wildfires are estimated to have caused the greatest loss of lives and property in our history,” South Korea’s acting Interior Minister Ko Ki-dong said. The wildfires began on March 21 in South Gyeongsang and on March 22 in North Gyeongsang, with the latter fully contained by Friday and the former controlled by Sunday.
