Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Conducts Unannounced Inspections of Multi-use Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) announced on the 1st that it conducted intensive inspections of multi-use facilities within its jurisdiction as part of winter fire prevention measures.

This intensive inspection was carried out through unannounced surprise checks.

It was promoted to establish a safety culture at eight locations, including movie theaters, where casualties from fires are a concern.

The main inspection items included ▲cutting off power to fire-fighting facilities and disabling alarms (sirens) ▲closing and locking emergency exits ▲neglecting malfunctioning fire-fighting equipment ▲illegal acts such as placing obstacles on evacuation stairs and passageways.

The inspection results were generally confirmed to be good, and to prevent damage to fire doors in advance, notices were attached to the fire doors, and signs were installed at the highest points to make it easy for users to identify the locations of fire-fighting equipment (indoor fire hydrants, fire extinguishers).

Chief Moon Gisik said, “Closing and locking emergency exits are dangerous actions that threaten the lives of oneself and neighbors,” and added, “We will strengthen guidance and supervision to ensure citizens’ safety from fires through proactive preventive activities.”
