Forest Fire Watchmen Stationed at Gwanggyo and Chilbo Mountains
Suwon City has established forest fire prevention headquarters under the Green Space Management Division and each district's Construction Division from early November through December 15 to prevent forest fires during the autumn season.
To prevent forest fires, the city has designated restricted mountain entry zones and no-entry zones to prohibit the possession of fire-making materials and flammable objects.
Additionally, the city has stationed a total of 67 forest fire watchmen at Gwanggyo Mountain, Chilbo Mountain, and other locations, and has prepared 4,144 fire suppression equipment including fire trucks to prevent forest fires.
The police, fire department, and the Air Force's 10th Fighter Wing have signed agreements with nine organizations and agencies including Ansan City to prepare for forest fire outbreaks and to enable rapid suppression in case of fire.
An official from Suwon City stated, "Hikers must not carry flammable materials, and they must not climb in areas where restricted entry signs are posted," adding "violators will be subject to fines of 100,000 to 300,000 won."
