Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters is strongly promoting fire prevention measures for vulnerable residential facilities such as residential vinyl greenhouses following a series of recent fires in residential vinyl greenhouses.

According to the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters, a total of 9 fires in residential vinyl greenhouses have occurred in the province from the beginning of this year until the 17th of this month, resulting in 3 deaths.

The Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters will first conduct 'fire safety on-site mentoring' and fire safety education targeting all vinyl greenhouses in the province. In addition, they will strengthen the on-site command system led by fire station chiefs and improve the emergency response system to establish a system that quickly extinguishes fires and transports patients in case of fire.

Previously, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters distributed standalone alarm-type detectors to 1,942 residential vinyl greenhouses.

A representative of the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters emphasized, "We will do our best to establish a customized fire safety system for fire-vulnerable groups and create a safe environment for fire prevention."

According to the fire analysis results announced recently by the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters for the past five years, the fire occurrence rate in spring (March to May) was 30.6%, higher than in winter (27.9%), summer (21.4%), and autumn (20%).
