Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Operates Fire Facility Illegal Activity 'Report Reward System' Year-Round

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) announced on the 24th that it will operate a reward system for voluntary citizen reports year-round to eradicate illegal activities such as emergency exit closures.

The reporting targets are ‘cultural and assembly facilities,’ ‘sales facilities,’ ‘transportation facilities,’ ‘accommodation facilities,’ ‘entertainment facilities,’ and ‘complex buildings.’

The contents include ▲ leaving fire pumps in a broken state ▲ blocking or disabling the automatic operation of equipment constituting fire-fighting facilities ▲ neglecting a state where fire extinguishing water or agents are not discharged through fire extinguishing pipes ▲ closing or blocking fire-fighting facilities ▲ closing, damaging, or installing obstacles in corridors, stairs, entrances, or fire compartment fire doors that hinder evacuation or the function of fire doors.

Reporting methods require the reporter to be at least 19 years old as of the reporting date under the ‘Resident Registration Act’ and registered as a resident in Gwangju Metropolitan City. Reports of illegal activities can be submitted to the fire station chief in charge of the reporting target by visiting, mail, fax, or information communication network with supporting documents attached to a separate report form.

Reward payments are made after on-site verification and review by the reward payment screening committee. If judged as illegal activity, the reporter will receive cash (50,000 KRW worth of traditional market Onnuri gift certificates) or reward items worth 50,000 KRW such as fire extinguishers or standalone smoke detectors.
