The Changwon Fire Department, along with other agencies, conducted a fire safety inspection at the Dalcheon Park auto campsite, a registered camping area in Changwon. The inspection focused on the use of electrical and gas appliances inside enclosed tents, which can cause short circuits, gas explosions, and fires. Glamping sites and caravans must be equipped with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, residual-current devices, and emergency flashlights. In winter, tent ventilation openings must be kept open to prevent gas poisoning.
