About 40 people participated in the wildfire prevention campaign, including public officials managing forests, wildfire prevention and suppression specialists, and staff from the Bukhansan National Park Management Office.

On that day, they distributed wildfire prevention promotional materials to national park visitors and informed them about precautions when entering the mountain and wildfire penalty regulations, striving to raise citizens' awareness of wildfire risks.

An official from the Goyang City Wildfire Prevention Headquarters said, “Goyang City is making every effort to prevent wildfires by preparing for illegal burning of agricultural residues or garbage that can cause wildfires during the harvest season, as well as for balloons carrying garbage from North Korea. We hope citizens will actively cooperate in wildfire prevention.”

During the autumn wildfire caution period, the city plans to conduct mobile crackdowns on illegal burning activities, impose fines on illegal burning, and take legal action against wildfire offenders.
