A Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters official said, "Fires frequently occur around Jeongwol Daeboreum every year," adding, "We are conducting special alert duty to respond immediately to fire prevention."

The Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters also pledged to do its best in on-site response and situation management amid the spread of the novel coronavirus.
