[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] The Muan Fire Station in Jeollanam-do (Chief Park Ui-seung) will operate an aerial surveillance team using drones from November to prevent forest fires as the dry season warning continues in autumn.

According to the Muan Fire Station on the 4th, a joint civil-government drone (aerial) surveillance team was formed, setting two zones around the forest area near Mulmatgi Park to conduct intensive forest fire monitoring and patrol activities. They carried out three-dimensional fire prevention activities and an autumn forest fire prevention campaign.

Since last year, they have signed a surveillance agreement with Muan County and Hanmaeum SKY Aviation Training Center, and this year they also signed agreements with the Department of Aviation Operations and the Department of Aviation Drone at Chodang University to conduct various forest fire monitoring activities.

Chief Park Ui-seung of the Fire Station said, “November is a dry season, so the frequency of forest fires is high. Along with intensive guidance and publicity activities, we will utilize drones and aviation technology to promote three-dimensional fire prevention activities over a wide area in more diverse ways to protect the lives and property of the residents.”
