Jinju City Enters Emergency System for Jeongwol Daeboreum

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 26th that it will expand emergency wildfire duty by establishing special wildfire prevention measures for Jeongwol Daeboreum, as the risk of wildfires caused by folk games such as burning the Daljip and Jwibulnori increases during Jeongwol Daeboreum.

On the day of Jeongwol Daeboreum, the city will flexibly adjust the working hours of wildfire monitors and firefighting personnel to operate a nighttime wildfire monitoring team until 9 p.m.

The Forestry Department and 26 rural villages in towns and townships will deploy 166 personnel including specialized wildfire firefighting teams, wildfire monitoring posts, and wildfire monitoring mobile patrols to wildfire-prone and adjacent areas, conducting wildfire prevention publicity and guidance activities by responsibility zones, and preparing for initial firefighting in case of wildfire occurrence.

Continuous village amplifier broadcasts and vehicle street broadcasts will be conducted, along with patrols of wildfire vulnerable areas and guidance and crackdowns on wildfire causes such as shamanistic rituals and children playing with fire.

A city official stated, “We request restraint in the Daljip burning event during Jeongwol Daeboreum to prevent wildfires,” adding, “Since wildfires cause enormous damage once they occur, we urge special caution against wildfires and other fires to prevent the loss of precious forest resources due to minor carelessness.”
