◆ 실전형 산불 진화훈련 전개
보령시(시장 문태희)는 21일 산불 대응 강화를 위한 산불 자체 진화훈련을 실시했다고 밝혔다. 산불전문예방진화대와 산림과 직원들이 산불통합지휘본부 운영, 발화지 탐색, 초동진화작업, 진화장비 운용, 드론을 이용한 잔불진화 확인 등의 순서로 훈련을 진행했다. 진화차량과 기계화장비, 드론 등을 활용한 실전형 훈련으로 진행됐으며, 상황별 진화 전략 수립과 주민 대피 체계도 함께 점검했다.
◆ 영농부산물 합동 파쇄로 불법소각 차단
보령시 산림과와 농업기술센터 친환경기술과는 산불의 주요 원인으로 지적되는 영농부산물의 불법소각을 차단하기 위해 합동 파쇄 작업을 추진했다. 가을철(10월~12월) 지속 추진 중인 영농부산물 안전처리 지원사업을 통해 산불 예방을 강화하고 있다.
◆ 2025년 가을철 산불조심기간 대응 강화
보령시는 2025년 가을철 산불조심기간 동안 산불 취약지 관리 강화, 입산자 통제 및 홍보 활동 등을 추진한다. 최태식 산림과장은 "최근 산불은 확산 속도가 매우 빨라 초기 대응이 산불 피해를 줄이는 핵심 요소이며, 영농부산물의 소각 역시 작은 불씨 하나가 대형 산불로 이어질 가능성이 있다"며 "훈련을 통해 대응체계를 강화하는 동시에 시민들의 인식을 개선하고 영농부산물 파쇄를 확대해 산불 예방 효과를 높이겠다"고 말했다.

Boryeong City Conducts Practical Forest Fire Extinguishing Training Using Drones and Mechanized Equipment
Aims to Enhance Early Response Capability Ahead of Fall Forest Fire Precaution Period
◆ Practical Forest Fire Extinguishing Training Conducted
Boryeong City (Mayor Moon Tae-hee) announced on the 21st that it conducted forest fire extinguishing training to strengthen forest fire response capabilities. Forest fire prevention and extinguishing specialists and forestry division staff conducted training in the following order: operating the forest fire integrated command center, searching for ignition sites, initial extinguishing operations, operating extinguishing equipment, and confirming residual fire extinguishing using drones. The training was conducted in a practical format utilizing fire trucks, mechanized equipment, and drones, and the city also checked situation-specific extinguishing strategies and civilian evacuation systems.
◆ Joint Shredding of Agricultural Byproducts to Block Illegal Burning
Boryeong City's Forestry Division and Agricultural Technology Center's Eco-Friendly Technology Division jointly promoted shredding operations to block illegal burning of agricultural byproducts, which have been identified as a major cause of forest fires. The city is strengthening forest fire prevention through the agricultural byproduct safe processing support project, which is being continuously promoted during the fall season (October to December).
◆ Strengthening Response During Fall 2025 Forest Fire Precaution Period
Boryeong City plans to implement strengthened management of forest fire-vulnerable areas, control of mountain visitors, and promotional activities during the fall forest fire precaution period in 2025. Choi Tae-sik, head of the Forestry Division, said, "Recent forest fires spread at very fast speeds, and early response is the key factor in reducing forest fire damage. Burning agricultural byproducts also carries the risk that a single spark could lead to a large-scale forest fire. Through training, we will strengthen our response system while improving public awareness and expanding agricultural byproduct shredding to increase forest fire prevention effectiveness."
