Gwangsan Fire Station in Gwangju Completes Inspection of 'Visible Fire Extinguishers' in Alleyways

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) announced on the 19th that it has completed inspection of 83 "Visible Fire Extinguishers" installed in narrow alleys to create a self-fire prevention environment in areas difficult for fire trucks to access.

"Visible Fire Extinguishers" refer to fire extinguishers (boxes) installed at eye level for citizens on utility poles or walls in narrow alleys within densely populated residential areas where fire truck access is difficult, allowing anyone to easily find and use them for rapid initial fire suppression.

This comprehensive inspection included ▲checking the management status of fire extinguishers ▲producing and attaching stickers for location recognition and theft prevention ▲assigning management numbers for systematic maintenance ▲and educating nearby residents on how to use fire extinguishers.

Chief Moon Gisik stated, "One fire extinguisher can effectively serve the role of one fire truck in initial fire situations," and added, "We will thoroughly manage fire extinguishers to ensure they are usable in case of fire and continue to expand the installation of visible fire extinguishers in fire-prone areas."
