Gwonseon-gu Conducts Field Inspection of Forest Fire Monitoring Posts

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Gwonseon-gu conducted field inspections of forest fire monitoring posts on the 27th to prevent spring forest fires and ensure systematic response measures.

District officials, including Ju Young-soo, head of the Parks and Greening Division, visited the fire monitoring posts, listened to workers' concerns, and offered encouragement. They emphasized the importance of focusing on forest fire prevention and initial firefighting efforts, maintaining vigilance to prevent large-scale forest fires, and pledging thorough attention to forest fire monitoring and response through patrols around the monitoring posts.

Furthermore, as the COVID-19 crisis alert level recently escalated to the severe stage, officials urged workers to prioritize personal hygiene management by habitually wearing masks and washing hands.

The district has designated March 1 through May 15 as the 'Spring Forest Fire Caution Period' and is operating a forest fire prevention task force, deploying 25 forest fire workers (monitors and firefighting team members) to six locations including Chilbo Mountain.
