[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongbuk-gu will operate a wildfire prevention headquarters from February 1 to May 15 during the "Spring Wildfire Prevention Period" to minimize wildfire damage and establish an initial firefighting system.

The district operates the wildfire prevention headquarters to maintain an emergency duty system and establish a rapid firefighting system by building a joint firefighting system with related local organizations such as fire stations, military units, police stations, and national parks. In case of wildfire occurrence, 21 ground firefighting team members and 80 auxiliary firefighting team members are organized to prepare for any emergency.

Additionally, a specialized wildfire prevention and firefighting team is operated as dedicated wildfire monitoring personnel, conducting patrol activities focused on areas prone to wildfire occurrence, including controlling the possession of flammable materials and inspecting wildfire firefighting equipment.

Along with this, continuous promotional activities will be carried out, such as posting wildfire caution banners on major hiking trails to raise awareness of wildfires among residents living near forests and citizens visiting the mountains.

A Seongbuk-gu official said, "We hope that people will follow wildfire prevention rules while hiking, and we ask for citizens' special attention and caution to prevent wildfires caused by carelessness."
