Jeonnam Fire Department "Prevent Spring Fires"... Launches Fire Prevention Campaign

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Hong Young-geun) is making every effort to prevent fires during the spring season.

On the 1st, according to Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, Chief Hong Young-geun visited Beolgyo Traditional Market to conduct a fire prevention campaign.

The campaign included Lee Dong-hyun, Chairman of the Safety, Construction, and Fire Committee, Jeong Yong-in, Chief of Boseong Fire Station, volunteer firefighters, and wildfire suppression team members.

They also visited Daewonsa Temple to check the proper operation of fire safety facilities and held a meeting with the head monk and related personnel to urge special caution for fire prevention during the Cheongmyeong and Hansik periods.

Spring is a season with a high incidence of fires such as wildfires compared to other seasons due to seasonal factors like large temperature differences, low humidity, and strong winds.

In particular, with the Cheongmyeong and Hansik periods starting on the 4th and the National Assembly elections on the 10th expected to increase the floating population, enforcement and publicity activities such as cracking down on illegal cigarette butt disposal will be conducted to create a safe environment.

Chief Hong Young-geun said, “Due to the seasonal characteristics of spring, even a small spark can escalate into a large fire, so we ask for active participation in fire prevention.”
