The Hwaseong security service is being established to safeguard wooden buildings and implement security measures against disasters and hazards including arson and fires.
The city has secured a supplementary budget of 120 million won for the security service. The plan calls for utilizing four information centers at Paldalmun Gate, Yeonmudae, Seojangdae, and Jangan Park as security posts, with a total of 10 personnel deployed.
Security personnel will be assigned as follows: 2 during daytime hours and 4 at night (with 4 on standby). For the 6 important wooden cultural heritage sites including Paldalmun Gate, 24-hour unmanned security systems will operate.
A city official stated, "Taking the Sungnyemun arson incident as a lesson, we are pursuing security services to establish measures for emergency response in case of disasters or hazards affecting wooden cultural heritage."
The city plans to begin the security service on September 1st and complete it by the end of January next year.
