An official from the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters stated, "What we are protecting is not just the factory, but the 'ordinary day' in which people working there return home safely," adding, "If we are not prepared, the same tragedy will be repeated. Only thorough preparation can prevent accidents."

Meanwhile, over the past five years (2021–2025), an average of 10 fires per year occurred at automobile parts-related facilities in the province, with property damage totaling 55.5 billion won. Half of the causes were found to be mechanical factors, reaffirming the importance of equipment management.
