[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Haman-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is making every effort to establish thorough wildfire monitoring and emergency dispatch readiness. On the 3rd, County Governor Jo Geun-je conducted a patrol within the region using a leased wildfire helicopter along with related officials.


On that day, Governor Jo focused on inspecting wildfire-prone areas and sites affected by pine wilt disease within the region, encouraging the personnel involved.


Governor Jo stated, "The initial firefighting system must be perfectly established so that the leased helicopter for wildfire suppression can be dispatched immediately in case of an emergency." He added, "Please make every effort to protect the precious lives and property of the residents by not only having wildfire suppression helicopters but also all systems capable of proactive response."



Meanwhile, the leased wildfire helicopter operated by Haman-gun, with a budget of approximately 360 million won, is one S-61N model. Its water capacity is about 3.6 tons, and it is planned to be operated until May 31, the end of the comprehensive wildfire prevention period.
