The volunteers displayed safety notices explaining wildfire causes, prevention measures and emergency responses. They also reminded hikers and park visitors not to discard cigarette butts or carry flammable materials, hosted an OX quiz on fire prevention, distributed seed pencils and collected litter around the park.

Seong-eun Choi, 54, who took part, said, “I climb mountains often, but I didn’t know the proper rules for preventing forest fires. Through this campaign, I realised that I need to be more careful.”

Yong-wook Moon, vice branch manager of the Yeonsu Branch, said, “We have organised a campaign to help citizens easily understand wildfire prevention guidelines and practise them in their daily lives.” He added, “We will continue our prevention activities in line with the high risk of wildfires.”
