[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County has launched an all-out effort to prevent forest fires in the fall season.

According to the county on the 1st, as the risk of forest fires increases due to dry weather in the fall, a comprehensive forest fire prevention plan has been established, and a forest fire countermeasures headquarters will be operated until December 15.

Earlier, on the 31st of last month, the county held a launching ceremony for the forest fire suppression team and conducted safety and firefighting training for 28 specialized forest fire prevention and suppression members to ensure rapid initial response in case of a forest fire.

The county plans to deploy the specialized forest fire prevention and suppression members dispersedly in vulnerable areas to prevent forest fires by prohibiting burning near forest edges, banning entry of persons carrying fire or flammable materials, and conducting other preventive activities.

In particular, the county will focus on guidance and crackdowns on burning of rice field ridges and agricultural waste near forest edges, and impose strong administrative measures such as fines for illegal burning.

A county official said, “We will do our best in forest fire prevention activities to protect our precious forest resources,” and added, “We ask the residents to pay close attention and caution regarding forest fire prevention.”
