Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station "Be Sure to Equip Vehicle Fire Extinguishers"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Yang Younggyu) urged the placement of 'vehicle fire extinguishers' to reduce damage and ensure prompt response in anticipation of an increase in vehicle fires during the summer season.

Vehicle fires mostly occur while driving, and since the fire spreads quickly, having a vehicle fire extinguisher is crucial for initial fire response.

According to current law, vehicles with 7 or more seats are required to carry at least one vehicle fire extinguisher.

A Dongbu Fire Station official said, "We must prepare for summer vehicle fires by placing vehicle fire extinguishers."

Meanwhile, a bill to expand the mandatory placement of vehicle fire extinguishers to vehicles with 5 or more seats is under review.
