‘Jutaekhwaragyeongbogi’ Plays Key Role in Preventing Large-Scale Fires

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The residential fire alarm played a crucial role in preventing a major fire.

According to the Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Yang Younggyu) on the 11th, a fire broke out around 10 p.m. the previous day at a house in Gyelim-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

A passerby heard the fire alarm sound indicating 'fire occurrence' from the residential fire alarm installed in the house and reported it to 119, preventing the fire from spreading into a large blaze.

It is known that the fire started when the resident fell asleep after lighting a mosquito coil on a newspaper, which then caught fire.

A Dongbu Fire Station official said, "There have been many cases where installing residential fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and residential fire alarms prevented fire damage," adding, "For the safety and happiness of families, it is essential to install residential fire safety equipment."

Meanwhile, the residential fire alarm that played a crucial role in this fire was distributed by the Dongbu Fire Station in 2017.
