Hamyang-gun, Special Measures Period for Large Wildfires ... Full Effort to Prevent Wildfires

Intensive Crackdown on Illegal Burning from April 5 to April 17

Hamyang County is preparing a full-scale response system to prevent forest fires.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has designated the period from the 5th to April 17th, a total of 44 days, as the "Special Large-scale Wildfire Countermeasure Period" and decided to make an all-out effort to prevent wildfires.

Hamyang-gun notes that rainfall has decreased by more than half compared to last year, and with wildfires continuing nationwide, the risk of large-scale wildfires is high.

With the full-scale farming season underway, 183 personnel including specialized wildfire prevention and suppression teams and wildfire monitors will be mobilized to conduct mobile crackdowns to prevent burning activities such as burning rice paddies and field ridges and arson by mountain visitors, and fines will be imposed on those who engage in illegal burning.

A county official said, "From early March to mid-April every year, many large-scale wildfires have occurred due to hot and dry weather conditions," adding, "We will strengthen our response posture to minimize wildfire occurrences and damages."
