[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 6th that it has taken steps to proactively eliminate risk factors related to traffic accidents, water-related accidents, and mountain accidents.

Since June, a regional council consisting of related organizations such as fire stations, local governments, and the Rural Development Administration within the province has been formed to identify and improve high-risk accident areas. A total of 35 locations were identified and all improvement measures have been completed.

The most common improvements were water accident prevention measures at reservoirs and lakes, totaling 16 cases, followed by 13 mountain accident prevention measures and 6 traffic accident prevention measures.

Jeonnam Fire Headquarters plans to continue cooperating with related organizations to maintain a cooperative system, continuously identify and improve high-risk accident areas, striving to minimize accident rates through rapid response in the event of accidents as well as preventing daily safety accidents within the province.
