In Brief

Fire departments in Damyang and Changnyeong are conducting spring inspections of campsites and caravans, including Geumseongsanseong Auto Camping, to prevent fires. Measures include checking fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and renting safety kits.

The Damyang Fire Department (chief Lee Jung-hee) has strengthened safety measures at campsites and tent sites in the region, including Geumseongsanseong Auto Camping, since March due to the spring increase in tourists. Inspections cover autonomous smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and open flames inside tents are prohibited. Installation of carbon monoxide detectors and ensuring evacuation routes are also recommended.

The Changnyeong Fire Department (chief Lim Soon-jae) has been inspecting 12 campsites and caravans since March. Measures include checking fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, and evacuation signs, verifying certified electrical and gas equipment, and recommending fire-resistant tarps. The department rents out "safety camping kits" containing autonomous smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and aerosol fire extinguishers.
