Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station Urges Caution for Spring 'Wildfire Prevention'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Yang Younggyu) has raised the dry weather warning and wildfire disaster crisis alert to 'caution' and urged special attention to prevent wildfires.

To prevent wildfires, the following must be observed: ▲ Do not burn rice paddies or field ridges or incinerate garbage near forests without permission ▲ Do not carry flammable materials when entering the mountains ▲ Do not smoke or discard cigarette butts in the forest ▲ Prohibit cooking activities within the forest.

The Dongbu Fire Station is inspecting firefighting equipment for wildfire suppression and establishing a cooperative system with related organizations to respond promptly to wildfires and forest fires.

They are also strengthening crackdowns on illegal burning of rice paddies and field ridges and unauthorized disposal of cigarette butts.

Chief Yang Younggyu said, “As seen in last year’s wildfire in Gangwon-do, wildfires cause significant damage,” and added, “We ask for the active participation of citizens in wildfire prevention.”
