[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Song Seonghun) is strengthening patrols of villages adjacent to forests and fire monitoring activities for illegal burning to prevent forest fires as dry weather continues recently.

The Gwangsan Fire Station Volunteer Fire Brigade is intensifying preventive patrol activities in villages adjacent to forests, divided into morning and afternoon shifts.

During a preventive patrol of villages adjacent to forests for forest fire prevention that day, a field fire near Sansu-dong, Gwangsan-gu was discovered, immediately reported to the 119 situation room, and extinguished using a fire extinguisher.

Chief Song Seonghun said, “As dry weather continues, we will inspect forest fire suppression equipment to prepare for any possible forest fire occurrence,” and added, “We ask all citizens to actively participate in forest fire prevention.”
