[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeonnam Muan Fire Station (Chief Park Won-guk) announced on the 22nd that it has installed 15 fire extinguisher boxes in alleys and remote villages where fire truck access is difficult, to enable initial response in case of fire.

The locations where the boxes were installed this time are Maedang Village in Haeje-myeon, Gwadong Village and Jongwol Village in Namak-eup. Each fire extinguisher box is equipped with two powder fire extinguishers (3.3 kg each), and they are distributed in easily visible places to ensure anyone can quickly find and use them in case of fire, improving accessibility.

Muan Fire Station conducted fire prevention education for village residents, including how to use fire extinguishers and reporting procedures, along with blood pressure and diabetes checks and first aid training. They plan to continue checking the operational status of the fire extinguisher boxes to establish a thorough response system.

Park Won-guk, Chief of Muan Fire Station, said, “One fire extinguisher plays the role of one fire truck in the early stages of a fire.” He added, “The installation of fire extinguisher boxes in alleys is expected to play a significant role in protecting citizens' lives and property. We will continue to install fire extinguisher boxes to create a fire safety network capable of responding to initial fires.”
