The installation project of wildfire suppression equipment storage boxes aims to minimize wildfire damage by enabling any resident to use fire extinguishers and backpack pumps installed along hiking trails for rapid initial firefighting in case of wildfire outbreaks.

Goyang Special City selected hiking trails requiring fire extinguisher installation by considering wildfire risk levels, site accessibility, and wildfire occurrence status, and completed the installation of wildfire suppression equipment storage boxes in locations that are easy to access and use.

The front of the storage boxes is made of transparent material to allow easy visibility of the contents, and they are equipped not only with fire extinguishers but also with backpack pumps, shovels, rakes, and other equipment used for wildfire suppression.

A Goyang Special City official stated, “We are making every effort to strengthen wildfire response measures, including concerns about wildfires caused by balloons carrying North Korean trash,” and urged, “We ask all citizens to actively cooperate in wildfire prevention.”
