[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] On the 2nd, the Haenam Fire Station in Jeonnam announced that as part of its spring fire safety measures, it installed red fire extinguisher boxes in alleys where fire trucks have difficulty passing.

The 'Alley Fire Extinguisher Box' was pilot-installed in Eummadong Village, Gogeum-myeon, Wando-gun, where fire trucks have difficulty entering and fire hydrants are not installed. A total of 9 'alley fire extinguishers' (18 powder fire extinguishers) were installed, and village chiefs and others were educated on how to use fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment. The local center will continue to manage them thereafter.

A Haenam Fire Station official said, "We hope that installing fire extinguishers in alleys where fire trucks have difficulty entering will help with initial fire suppression," adding, "We will continue to expand the installation of fire extinguisher boxes to more areas in the future."
