This consulting was conducted with the participation of Gwangsan District Office and the Korea Disaster Relief Safety Volunteer Association, and was promoted to minimize human and property damage from disasters through public-private disaster cooperation.

At this occasion, he urged ▲establishment of fire prevention and response systems ▲elimination of fire-vulnerable factors ▲confirmation of normal operation of firefighting facilities ▲vehicle department and water spray training ▲additional installation of fire extinguishers ▲installation of standalone alarm-type detectors.
