This campaign targeted large warehouse facilities with a total floor area of over 40,000 square meters and was carried out through on-site visits. The purpose was to enhance the autonomous safety management capabilities of relevant personnel and to prevent accidents such as fires through inspections and guidance.

The city visited four large logistics warehouses in Hwado-eup and Sudong-myeon in succession and carried out a focused campaign at each site.

The facilities included: △Coupang and GS Networks Logistics Center (Chasan-ri, Hwado-eup); △Cold Logistics Center (Chasan-ri, Hwado-eup); △Lotte Liquor and LogiB Logistics Center (Changhyeon-ri, Hwado-eup); and △Ottogi and Binggrae Logistics Center (Unsu-ri, Sudong-myeon).

On-site, the campaign focused on providing safety guidelines for fire prevention and emphasized the importance of conducting self-directed fire safety inspections and maintaining facilities.

In particular, the city repeatedly stressed the necessity of pre-inspections, as the structural characteristics of large warehouses can lead to rapid escalation of damage in the event of a fire.

An official from Namyangju City stated, "Large logistics facilities can result in massive damage in the event of a fire, making prevention more important than anything else," adding, "We will continue to create a city environment where citizens can feel safe by promoting on-site safety management and continuous public awareness through public-private cooperation."
