Initially, five units will be installed in Sinchon 2-ri, Jinbo-myeon, with support from the Korea Disaster Relief Association (Hope Bridge).

The modular housing is intended to provide emergency shelter and support stable living conditions for residents affected by the wildfire. Installation is scheduled to be completed by early May, after which a final inspection will be conducted before residents can move in. Each unit will be equipped with basic living infrastructure, including electricity, water, and heating.

Cheongsong County plans to install approximately 20 complex-type sites by village and about 300 individual units at requested locations as part of its temporary modular housing support project for wildfire victims.

This initiative aims to facilitate the recovery of damaged homes and improve residents' satisfaction by providing temporary housing within their existing living areas, thereby supporting a swift return to daily life for those affected.

A county official stated, "Starting with Sinchon 2-ri in Jinbo-myeon, we will proceed quickly and efficiently with the installation of housing units so that all wildfire victims across the county can live comfortably in temporary accommodations."

County Governor Yoon Kyunghee said, "Cheongsong County is pursuing a multifaceted plan for wildfire recovery, prioritizing the convenience and daily recovery of affected residents. We will complete the restoration work as soon as possible to ensure a stable living environment for our residents and continue to prepare for long-term recovery support."
