[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Moon Gisik, chief of Gwangsan Fire Station in Gwangju, conducted an on-site inspection of a construction site.

According to Gwangsan Fire Station on the 6th, Chief Moon directly visited a local housing cooperative construction site located in Usan-dong, Gwangsan-gu as part of spring fire prevention measures.

The visit was prompted by the fire that occurred on the 29th of last month at a logistics warehouse construction site in Moga-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, which resulted in 38 deaths and 10 injuries, aiming to raise fire awareness and strengthen fire safety management at construction sites within the jurisdiction.

Chief Moon urged construction site personnel to ▲ ventilate and discharge vapor when using urethane foam or painting ▲ eliminate fire hazards in advance ▲ observe precautions during welding and cutting work ▲ install and manage temporary fire facilities (fire extinguishers, simple fire suppression devices, emergency alarm devices, etc.) ▲ and comply with construction site safety rules.

Chief Moon Gisik stated, “Most construction site fires start from carelessness and lack of safety awareness,” and added, “For fire prevention at construction sites, the interest and compliance with safety rules by construction site personnel are of utmost importance.”
