Hampyeong Fire Station Conducts 'Special Fire Safety Inspection' on Cultural Properties and Temples

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Hampyeong Fire Station in Jeonnam (Chief Im Donghyun) announced on the 23rd that it will conduct a 'Special Fire Prevention Inspection' on wooden cultural properties and temples until next month in preparation for the dry spring season and Buddha's Birthday.

There are a total of 27 cultural properties and traditional temples in the jurisdiction of the Hampyeong Fire Station (8 cultural properties and 19 traditional temples). In addition, a total of 13 sites were selected according to selection criteria, including 44 lodging facilities.

The selection criteria for this inspection target were ▲ priority selection for the 2020 fire safety information survey target ▲ targets not inspected by special fire inspections in the past two years ▲ inclusion of safety inspection records such as those from the Korea Fire Insurance Association ▲ priority selection of other high fire risk targets.

Through the inspection, the focus will be on ▲ matters related to crackdowns on unauthorized buildings ▲ safety management inspections of disaster prevention-related buildings ▲ inspection of the maintenance status of building evacuation and fire protection facilities ▲ eradication of safety neglect practices through crackdowns on illegal acts such as emergency exit closures and power shutdowns of fire facilities ▲ pre-removal of fire risk factors and activation of the emergency exit reporting reward system.

Im Donghyun, Chief of Hampyeong Fire Station, said, "This special fire inspection is aimed at reducing fire damage in the spring, when the fire occurrence rate is highest due to dry weather and the Buddha's Birthday lantern festival," adding, "Continuous fire prevention safety management is necessary not only in spring but also for valuable cultural properties."
