When fire disasters occur, the Church of God carries out restoration work at the disaster site and provides financial support to bring hope for the victims. On April 18, 2021, a wildfire broke out on Table Mountain, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, in South Africa. University student members actively participated in restoration efforts at UCT’s library, which had been damaged by the fire.<ref>[https://news.watv.org/over/content.asp?articleid=o20210429247 ASEZ (Church of God University Student Volunteer Group) Participates in Wildfire Recovery in South Africa], ''WATV News'', April 29, 2021</ref> | When fire disasters occur, the Church of God carries out restoration work at the disaster site and provides financial support to bring hope for the victims.

Additionally, recognizing that most fire accidents are human-induced, the Church of God promotes fire prevention activities such as clearing flammable waste, installing fire alarms, and running prevention campaigns. For instance, the Church of God in the Seoul region organized a large-scale wildfire prevention campaign on Mount Gwanak during the dry winter season when wildfires frequently occur in mountains. It involved more than 500 participants and aimed to raise awareness among hikers.<ref>[https://관악publisher.kr/sub_read.html?uid=13429§ion=sc4§ion2=%BB%E7%C8%B8 The Church of God Hosts 'Healing Seminar for Office Workers'], ''KA News'', July 22, 2019</ref> | Additionally, recognizing that most fire accidents are human-induced, the Church of God promotes fire prevention activities such as clearing flammable waste, installing fire alarms, and running prevention campaigns.

In Korea, the Church donated a total of 230 million KRW to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association over two separate contributions.
