Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Promotes Importance of 'Lightweight Partition Walls' in Apartment Complexes View original image


[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) is actively promoting the importance of the ‘Lightweight Partition Walls in Apartment Complexes’ to residents as part of winter fire safety measures to ensure rapid evacuation in case of fire in apartment complexes.


The lightweight partition wall is installed on the balconies of floors above the 3rd floor in apartments to allow quick evacuation to neighboring units in emergencies such as fires.


The gypsum material partition wall can be easily broken by anyone, regardless of age or gender, using their body or feet to evacuate to neighboring units.


However, some units have blocked the area around the lightweight partition walls with built-in closets or storage cabinets, hindering their use in emergencies.



Chief Moon Gisik stated, “Since the lightweight partition walls are installed for evacuation during disasters, we will continuously promote awareness of their location and importance to ensure they do not obstruct emergency evacuation.”
