Jungnang-gu Prevents Wildfires 24/7 with Smart CCTV

Installation of Black Box CCTV at Two Locations Including the Hiking Trail Behind Seoil University Backhill Park and Yongmasan Footpath Vulnerable to Wildfires Until the 31st

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is operating a wildfire response headquarters to prevent and combat wildfires during the spring wildfire caution period, conducting 24-hour inspections using equipment.

Since more than 40% of Jungnang-gu's total area consists of green spaces such as Yongmasan, Bonghwasan, and Mangu-san, the possibility of wildfires is high. Therefore, the district operates a wildfire response headquarters every year to focus on wildfire prevention activities.

As part of these efforts, the district will install solar-powered black box-type CCTV for wildfire monitoring and prevention at two wildfire-prone areas on Yongmasan by the 31st.

The CCTV installation sites are the hiking trail behind Seoildae Back Mountain Park (San 19, Myeonmok-dong) and the footpath of Yongmasan (San 1-3, Myeonmok-dong). These areas are at high risk of wildfire due to illegal trash burning in nearby farmland and frequent visitors to the mountain.

The solar-powered black box-type CCTV installed by the district can monitor wildfires 24 hours a day using solar power even in areas without electricity supply.

Additionally, it is equipped with a voice guidance function, which is expected to serve as a wildfire prevention announcement to raise visitors' awareness of wildfire risks.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi of Jungnang-gu said, "We will mobilize all available wildfire equipment and personnel to protect the valuable forest resources of the region," and added, "We ask residents to actively participate and cooperate in wildfire prevention activities."

Last year, the district also installed two black box-type CCTVs on the hiking trail next to the children's playground in Yongma Waterfall Park (San 73-2, Myeonmok-dong) and at the entrance of the Path of Contemplation in Mangu-ri Park (San 57-3, Mangu-dong), continuously conducting guidance and enforcement activities against illegal acts in the forest, possession of flammable materials, and smoking.
