Geochang-gun "No Wildfires" ... Launches Wildfire Prevention Campaign

Attracting Attention by Broadcasting Aerial Guidance Using Drones

Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, conducted a wildfire prevention campaign.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 12th that more than 20 people, including related officials and the specialized wildfire prevention and suppression team, participated in a wildfire prevention campaign at Geochang Anti-Aging Healing Land.

The county promoted the campaign to encourage the cooperation and participation of all residents in wildfire prevention, as the risk of wildfires has increased due to the recent dry weather and frequent illegal burning of agricultural and marine products after the busy farming season.

Participants in the campaign distributed promotional pamphlets to hikers and mountain climbers and promoted compliance with wildfire prevention measures, such as prohibiting the possession of flammable materials.

This campaign attracted the attention of hikers and mountain climbers through wildfire guidance broadcasts using drones, which have recently gained attention, and video transmission via the ICT system inside the integrated command vehicle.

Kang Shin-yeo, head of the Forestry Division, said, “Wildfire prevention is a promise with the mountains that provide beautiful scenery and various forest products,” and added, “We ask for your active participation so that future generations can fully enjoy the benefits of the forests we enjoy.”
