consequence:

Emergency crews are working to contain a wildfire at Inwangsan mountain in central Seoul, as of morning April 2. Authorities are restricting access to the area. Cause of the fire is unclear.

Heightened security and transport disruptions are likely in the affected area over the coming hours. Authorities may restrict access to nearby roads to facilitate the movement of emergency vehicles. Officials may also mandate building evacuations and business closures in the vicinity as a precaution until the fire is extinguished and investigations end. Low visibility from smoke and possible ashfall could contribute to traffic delays and congestion in the vicinity.

proposal:

Avoid the area until authorities give the all-clear. Seek alternative routes and allow additional travel time to nearby destinations. Consider remaining indoors if smoke is heavy, especially if you suffer from a respiratory illness such as asthma or conditions that lead to increased risk from smoke exposure. Eye irritation is possible; flush irritated eyes with copious amounts of clean water. Heed all official instructions, including any evacuation orders.
