Wildfire Caution Period Until December 15... Full Efforts for Prevention and Suppression Including Operation of Comprehensive Wildfire Countermeasures Headquarters

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju City is making every effort to prevent forest fires during the dry autumn season.

According to Buk-gu on the 2nd, the period until the 15th of next month has been designated as the 'Forest Fire Caution Period,' and a 'Comprehensive Autumn Forest Fire Prevention Plan' is being implemented.

This plan consists of three major areas and six detailed tasks: ▲ Establishing an initial forest fire suppression system ▲ Intensive management of vulnerable areas ▲ Building a cooperation system with related organizations.

A comprehensive task force headquarters is formed and operated to organically perform duties such as maintaining on-site suppression command systems during forest fire occurrences, rapid situation reporting, and cooperation with related organizations.

In addition, three patrol mobile teams and 19 specialized forest fire prevention and suppression personnel are responsible for on-site tasks including forest fire monitoring in vulnerable areas, maintenance of suppression equipment, and rapid reporting using the forest fire location control system.

Furthermore, by maintaining a constant emergency contact network with related organizations such as the police, fire stations, and military units, an efficient forest fire prevention system is established. Public participation in forest fire prevention and reporting will be encouraged through campaigns, banners, and announcement broadcasts.

Chief Moon In said, “Since minor carelessness can lead to major forest fires, the participation and cooperation of residents are important,” adding, “We will preserve the safety of residents and the region’s forest resources well through proactive prevention activities.”
