The Korea Forest Service (KFS) recently demonstrated a multipurpose wildland firefighting vehicle to Sergio Humberto Graf Montero, Director General of the National Forestry Commission of Mexico, during his visit to Korea. Developed through domestic research and development (R&D) in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and F ONE TECH Co., Ltd., the vehicle is based on a Korean-made military light tactical vehicle known for its excellent maneuverability in mountainous terrain.

This enables it to access forest fire sites that are difficult for conventional firefighting vehicles to reach. The KFS has been actively promoting Korea’s forest fire response policies and domestically developed firefighting equipment through international exchanges with foreign forestry authorities. Plans are in place for the KFS to continue showcasing Korean-made equipment through forest cooperation meetings and visits by foreign delegations, while supporting Korean companies in expanding into overseas markets.
