During the campaign, the city distributed promotional materials containing wildfire prevention guidelines, such as prohibiting smoking and cooking in forest areas, banning the burning of trash and agricultural waste near forests, and forbidding the possession of fire-starting materials in the forest. Wildfire prevention banners were also installed at key locations.

To address the increased risk of wildfires during the Chuseok holiday, when more people visit for grave rituals and hiking, the city has designated the period from September 22 to October 9 as a special wildfire prevention period and plans to intensify its awareness activities.

Kang Suhyun, mayor of Yangju City, emphasized, "Most wildfires are caused by carelessness," and urged, "I ask all visitors coming to Yangju for grave rituals and hiking during the Chuseok holiday to follow wildfire prevention guidelines to help protect our forests and environment."
