150 'Visible Fire Extinguisher Boxes' Installed on Hiking Trails in 11 Cities and Counties Including Suwon

Gyeonggi Province will install 150 "Visible Fire Extinguisher Boxes" around major hiking trails in 11 cities and counties, including Suwon.

Visible Fire Extinguisher Boxes are fire extinguisher cases installed in easily noticeable locations along hiking trails, allowing anyone to quickly take out and use a fire extinguisher in case of a forest fire when rapid access to the site is difficult due to obstacles such as blocked entry routes.

Gyeonggi Province plans to install fire extinguisher boxes at major intersections of hiking trails with frequent foot traffic so that hikers and visitors can use fire extinguishers quickly and safely in the event of a forest fire.

The installation areas include Suwon City (Gwanggyosan, Chilbosan), Goyang City (Gobongsan), Hwaseong City (Mubongsan, Bonghwasan, Chilbosan, etc.), Ansan City (Surisan, etc.), Pyeongtaek City (Buraksan, etc.), Paju City (Gamak Mountain, etc.), Gwangmyeong City (Dodeoksan, Gureumsan), Pocheon City (Cheonbosan, Wangbangsan, Myeongseongsan, etc.), Yangpyeong County (Yongmunsan, Chueupsan, Cheonggyesan), Yeoju City (Hwanghaksan, Sodal Mountain, Magamsan, Buksungsan, Ssarisan, etc.), and Dongducheon City (Soyosan, etc.).

To prevent theft and damage, Gyeonggi Province will assign management numbers to each fire extinguisher and display warning messages for systematic management.

Seok Yonghwan, Director of the Forest and Greenery Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Early extinguishing by the first discoverer is crucial to minimizing damage caused by forest fires," adding, "With the installation of fire extinguishers, it is expected that anyone among visitors can respond quickly in case of a forest fire, minimizing damage."
