[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan Fire Station (Chief Park Won-guk) announced on the 27th that it is urging active participation in prohibiting parking on narrow roads and alleys during fire truck dispatch to secure the golden time in case of fire dispatch.

In case of fire, situations frequently occur where fire trucks cannot enter due to illegal parking on roads and alleys, causing the loss of the golden time for fire suppression. Narrow alley parking in rural villages also causes significant difficulties for fire truck access.

Accordingly, Muan Fire Station has been continuously conducting fire drills and campaigns such as ‘Making Way for Fire Trucks’ focusing on fire-vulnerable areas like traditional markets to secure the golden time.

To secure fire dispatch routes, active participation from residents is urgently needed, including ▲moving to the left or right side when emergency vehicles pass ▲prohibition of parking on both sides of narrow roads ▲no parking within 5 meters around fire hydrants ▲no parking on fire truck exclusive roads.

Chief Park Won-guk said, “The most important thing for the rapid dispatch of fire trucks and smooth on-site activities is active interest and cooperation rather than obligations or strengthened sanctions,” and added, “We ask for the voluntary participation of residents to secure fire truck dispatch routes.”
