The installation of 'Visible Fire Extinguishers' aims to minimize human and property damage through rapid initial firefighting in the event of a wildfire and to create a safe park environment by raising hikers' awareness through the placement of wildfire firefighting equipment.

The installation locations include ▲ Gubongsan Park (1 unit) ▲ Keunjaebong Park (1 unit) ▲ Central Park (1 unit) ▲ Banseoksan Park (2 units) ▲ Sonbadak Park (1 unit) ▲ Byeongjeom Neighborhood Park (1 unit). The city installed visible fire extinguishers mainly around the barefoot walking paths, which are among the most frequented circular conservation areas within the parks.

The visible fire extinguisher cases are made of transparent acrylic to ensure they are easily noticeable to park visitors, and are equipped with LED lights to make their locations easily identifiable even at night. Additionally, the newly created Hwaseong Special City BI was applied to promote the launch of the special city both internally and externally.

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong City, stated, "Based on future results, we will install additional visible fire extinguishers and similar equipment at major hiking trails, parks, and other places frequented by many citizens to create a safe and livable city."
