Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Supports Low-Income Families with 'Home Fire Insurance' Enrollment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) announced on the 21st that it will support 'housing fire insurance enrollment' for households in need of assistance, such as low-income families and basic livelihood security recipients.

Gwangsan Fire Station selects households in need, including low-income residents, basic livelihood security recipients, and child-headed households among Gwangsan-gu citizens every year in consultation with the district office, and supports the cost of enrolling in housing fire insurance.

Housing fire insurance is a one-year short-term non-renewable insurance, but its purpose is to provide practical support services that guarantee the survival rights of fire victims. This year, 520 households in the jurisdiction were selected for enrollment support.

Since supporting housing fire insurance enrollment from 2015, a total of two households received insurance benefits, one case each in 2016 and 2017.

In addition to supporting insurance enrollment, Gwangsan Fire Station operates a Fire Victim Support Center year-round to provide rapid damage recovery and relief supplies to victims who have fallen into despair due to fire.

Chief Moon said, “Supporting housing fire insurance enrollment is expected to play a significant role in the prompt safety of fire victims who find self-recovery difficult,” and added, “We will expand various support measures so that more people can benefit.”
