Promoting CCTV Installation Using Transmission Towers
Signing of MOU and Usage Lease Agreement

Gyeongsan City has joined hands with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) Daegu Headquarters to prevent forest fires and ensure swift initial response.

On April 14, Gyeongsan City announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KEPCO Daegu Headquarters to strengthen cooperation in forest fire monitoring. The two parties also concluded a usage lease agreement for transmission towers to install CCTV cameras for forest fire surveillance.

This agreement was promoted to eliminate blind spots in monitoring areas adjacent to forests and regions vulnerable to forest fires, as well as to establish a system for early detection and rapid response in the event of a fire.

In particular, by taking advantage of the height of transmission towers located near forests to install CCTV cameras, the city expects to achieve more efficient monitoring with improved visibility.

The installation sites selected for this project are Eumyang-ri in Wachon-myeon and Naechon-ri in Yongseong-myeon, focusing on areas with a high risk of forest fires or where monitoring infrastructure needs to be enhanced.

Gyeongsan City plans to prioritize installing CCTV cameras in these areas to strengthen real-time monitoring systems, and intends to expand the coverage based on the operational outcomes in the future.

Furthermore, both institutions plan to continue their cooperative system in various fields, including forest fire prevention campaigns, disaster response collaboration, and information sharing, taking this agreement as an opportunity.

Lee Dohyeong, Acting Mayor of Gyeongsan City, stated, "This agreement marks a meaningful starting point for protecting citizens' lives, property, and valuable forest resources through cooperation with public institutions. We will continue to enhance advanced monitoring systems and do our utmost to make Gyeongsan City safe from forest fires."
