Recently, North Korea has made avoiding forest fires a big national priority. In reality, on Nov. 11, Rodong Sinmun reported that the work for forest conservation and forest fire prevention has turned into a patriotic one for all people [sic]."
In particular, during a meeting of the State Affairs Commission in April, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un set up a new forestry policy management bureau, showing a willingness to set forestry policy on his own.
The source pointed out that Cholsan County is home to North Korea’s No. 2 Missile Launch Site and testing facility, along with major air force bases, so local party, government and military organizations fully mobilized themselves to put out the blaze.
Local residents were also mass-mobilized to beat back the fire. “A vehicle with a loudspeaker began broadcasting in Cholsan on the night of Nov. 10, and then the authorities began encouraging all residents in the county to take active part in putting out the fire on local TV."
The reasone for the forest fire is unclear atm no one got punished for this incident. The missle base didnt got dameged as locals were ordered to put out the fires wich destroyed big parts of the forest. Trees were planted 8 years ago and last year
