Hampyeong Fire Station Accelerates Promotion of the Importance of Lightweight Partition Walls Between Generations

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Hampyeong Fire Station (Chief Im Donghyun) has launched a campaign to promote the importance of lightweight partitions installed between units in apartment complexes.

According to Hampyeong Fire Station on the 25th, lightweight partitions are installed to allow evacuation to adjacent units in case it is difficult to escape through entrances or stairs. They are made of approximately 9mm thick gypsum board.

They can be easily broken by women and children using their hands or feet, and can be easily identified by tapping on the wall, which produces a hollow sound.

However, most households are unaware of the existence of lightweight partitions, and often use the emergency evacuation space for other purposes by installing built-in closets or storage cabinets to solve insufficient storage space, making it impossible to use in emergencies. Therefore, awareness is necessary.

A representative from Hampyeong Fire Station said, “Since lightweight partitions are installed for evacuation in emergencies, it is important to know their exact location and how to use them,” and added, “Please move any items stacked in front of the lightweight partitions to secure a passage of life that protects our families and neighbors.”
