Hwaseong Fire Department Selects Fire-Free Model Village

The Hwaseong Fire Department (Chief Hong Jin-young) has selected three locations including Hagadeung-ri Village in Bongdam-eup, Hwaseong City, as model fire-free villages as a preventive measure against casualties from fires and water disasters.

The model fire-free villages selected this time are areas that have had no fire incidents over the past three years. Local officials were appointed as honorary firefighters, and residents were provided with standalone alarm detectors and fire extinguishers.

In particular, a plaque-unveiling ceremony for the model fire-free villages was held, playing a significant role in raising residents' safety awareness.

An official at the Hwaseong Fire Department stated, “We are fully implementing the second phase of our war against fire to prevent casualties and property damage from fires, and we hope that these model fire-free villages will become communities where not a single fire occurs.”
