Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Urges Caution Against Fires During Children's Day Holiday

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Seobu Fire Station (Chief Kim Young-don) has urged caution against fires and safety accidents during the holiday period including Children's Day.

Seobu Fire Station announced on the 5th that it will further strengthen fire preparedness for a safe holiday during the golden holiday period.

This measure comes as the government’s easing of social distancing policies is expected to increase the number of visitors during the golden holiday period from Buddha’s Birthday to Children's Day, and with a nationwide dry weather advisory in effect, the risk of fire outbreaks is judged to be rising.

They plan to strengthen response posture proactively to prevent and monitor fires.

The main points include ▲strengthening preventive activities for targets that may attract social attention in case of fire ▲maintaining 100% operational status of firefighting forces for initial suppression in case of fire ▲rapid communication and response with related agencies in case of fires or forest fires near forest areas ▲fire safety campaigns using SNS, etc.

Chief Kim Young-don said, “Due to dry weather and increased foot traffic during this holiday period, various accidents and fires are a concern,” and added, “We ask for special attention and caution to prevent fires.”
