Chungnam Fire Department, Special Vigilance Duty for Cheongmyeong and Hansik... Proactive Fire Response

The Chungnam Fire Headquarters announced on the 3rd that it will activate a special alert duty system from the 4th to the 7th around Cheongmyeong and Hansik.

The special alert duty is implemented to proactively respond to fires during the period when the risk of forest fires increases due to the rise in the number of spring visitors and memorial visitors.

In Chungnam, an average of 2,082 fires have occurred annually over the past three years, with an average of 240 fires concentrated in April.

Accordingly, during the special alert duty period, the Fire Headquarters plans to prepare a dispatch posture so that about 14,000 firefighters and volunteer firefighters can be immediately deployed to the scene in case of emergencies.

In addition, preventive patrols will be strengthened during fire-prone hours, and fire trucks will be stationed close to high-risk areas for large fires, memorial parks, and major hiking trails to enable rapid response.

Kim Sang-sik, Director of the Prevention and Safety Division at the Fire Headquarters, said, “Considering the increasing damage caused by frequent recent forest fires, please be cautious when handling fire during memorial visits and hiking,” and added, “The Fire Headquarters will do its best to prevent fires in the region.”
