In particular, the Masan Hoewon District Wildfire Prevention Headquarters produced and distributed wildfire safety promotional materials, which were well received by citizens. The headquarters also pledged to actively participate in wildfire prevention efforts.

Je Jongnam, head of Masan Hoewon District, stated, "Our small acts of attention and effort become a great force in protecting our beautiful forests. As the risk of wildfires increases with the rise in visitors during the Lunar New Year holiday, I ask for citizens' interest and cooperation to ensure that wildfires do not occur due to carelessness, such as carrying flammable materials or smoking while hiking."
