Suwon Nambu Fire Station Urges Caution for Campsite Fires

The Suwon Southern Fire Station in Gyeonggi recently urged special caution as the increase in camping tent users has raised the possibility of fires.

The Suwon Southern Fire Station emphasized that tents are made of flammable materials, and since fires may be detected late at night, the likelihood of casualties is high. Therefore, it is important to check the location and usage of fire extinguishing equipment provided at campsites in advance.

They also warned that preparation against carbon monoxide is necessary, as carbon monoxide trapped due to lack of ventilation in the cold winter can threaten lives.

Meanwhile, in November last year, there was a fatal tent fire by a riverside in Cheongju.
