Yeongyang-gun and KEPCO MCS Yeongyang Branch Sign Honorary Wildfire Watcher Agreement

Small Attention to Protect Blue Nutrition, Beware of Sanbul!

Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, signed an honorary wildfire monitoring officer business agreement with KEPCO MCS Yeongyang Branch at Yeongyang-gun Office on the 17th and decided to actively promote wildfire prevention activities.

Yeongyang County and KEPCO MCS Signed an Honorary Wildfire Watcher Business Agreement.

Under this agreement, the meter readers belonging to KEPCO MCS Yeongyang Branch will install wildfire caution flags on work vehicles and distribute promotional materials to carry out wildfire prevention activities. In particular, they will be able to inspect wildfire-prone areas such as remote mountainous regions, which is expected to help eliminate blind spots with a dense monitoring network.

This agreement is meaningful in that it strengthens close-knit promotional activities in cooperation with the private sector, moving away from wildfire prevention activities centered on administrative agencies, and establishes a cooperative system.

Governor O Do-chang said, “We will do our best to protect the lives and property of residents by strengthening wildfire prevention activities and build close cooperative relationships with organizations to protect valuable forest resources.”

KEPCO MCS is a meter reading company entrusted by KEPCO to provide power services according to government policies, mainly engaged in meter reading, delivery of electricity bills, and management of overdue electricity payments.
