[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, held a prayer ceremony for the prevention of forest fire disasters on the 5th following the completion of the 'Hapcheon-gun Forest Fire Response Center.'

The 'Hapcheon-gun Forest Fire Response Center' was constructed with a project cost of 400 million KRW, featuring a two-story building (199.36㎡) including a garage for firefighting vehicles and a waiting room. This new facility has transformed the previously poor container environment into a comfortable working space, enhancing the commitment to forest fire prevention.

The completion ceremony was omitted due to COVID-19, and a simple prayer ceremony was held for the protection of the lives and property of Hapcheon residents, attended by key guests including County Governor Moon Jun-hee, County Council Chairperson Bae Mong-hee, Deputy Governor Choi Yong-nam, Forest Cooperative President Lee In-sook, and Agricultural Technology Center Director Shin Jae-soon. The event included a facility tour and encouragement for forest fire suppression workers.

County Governor Moon Jun-hee stated, “We were evaluated as an excellent county in last year’s forest fire city and county assessment, and this year as well, we will do our best to prevent forest fire disasters so that residents can safely engage in their livelihoods.”
