Be careful with fire handling, such as open burning!

Recently, there have been many large-scale forest fires occurring across the country.

The period when the season changes from winter to spring is marked by dry air and days with strong winds.

Burning activities such as field burning can cause flames to spread to dry grass and other materials, potentially leading to fires.

Additionally, littering cigarettes poses a risk of developing into a fire, so please do not litter under any circumstances.

If a fire spreads to dry grass or similar due to open burning, please call 119 immediately when you discover it.

Points to Prevent Fires

1. Be very careful when handling fire when the air is dry.

2. Do not conduct open burning in areas with dry grass and similar materials.

3. Do not conduct outdoor burning during strong winds.

4. Do not play with fire. Also, do not litter with cigarettes.

5. If you must conduct a controlled burn, be sure to prepare firefighting equipment (water buckets, fire extinguishers).

6. After using fire, make sure to completely extinguish it. Also, charcoal and charred wood may still have hot spots even if the flames are not visible, so ensure they are thoroughly soaked in water and placed in a fireproof container to confirm that they will not reignite.

• Open burning (field burning) is prohibited by law and ordinance.
