According to the fire authorities, the 'Lee Gyuheon House' is a wooden structure from the Joseon Dynasty, designated as Jeollanam-do Folklore Cultural Property No. 22 in 1987. Due to the characteristics of wooden buildings, fire suppression is difficult and can result in significant property damage.

On this day, Chief Lee Gwan-seop and about 40 staff members visited the site to understand the local landmark and ensure a safe Yeonggwang. They assessed the access routes, entry conditions, obstacles, vehicle deployment locations, and fire facilities in case of fire occurrence.

Chief Lee said, "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles. Knowing the fire site and ourselves thoroughly, we will devise fire response methods and strive to enhance our firefighting expertise to do our best in on-site operations."
