Cultural treasures from Buseoksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Korea, were evacuated due to a wildfire in nearby Bonghwa-gun. Artifacts including the "Goryeo Woodblocks" and "Five Buddhas Painting" were moved to preserve them from potential damage. The evacuation involved approximately 30 experts and officials who safely transported these valuables to other museums using vibration-free vehicles. While some artifacts couldn't be moved, they were protected with fire-resistant covers, with personnel on-site for monitoring.
