Jeonnam Fire Department Announces Usage Instructions for 'Hose Reel Emergency Fire Extinguisher'

Targeting Residents Near 446 Local Sites Until Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 2nd that it will conduct training on the use of the 'Hose Reel Emergency Fire Extinguishing Device' installed in fire-prone areas over the course of two months.

The hose reel emergency fire extinguishing device is a fire suppression facility that local residents can easily use to secure the golden time immediately after a fire occurs. The hose reel is permanently connected to the firefighting water supply facility.

A total of 446 units are installed in the Jeonnam area.

Recently, in other regions, when a fire broke out in a traditional market, market merchants used the emergency fire extinguishing device to successfully extinguish the initial fire, preventing the accident from spreading into a large fire.

Jeonnam Fire Headquarters installs emergency fire extinguishing devices every year in villages that are far from fire stations or have narrow fire truck access roads to enhance early fire response capabilities.

They are also making efforts to eliminate fire blind spots by holding consultations with local governments and firefighting water committees.

Ma Jaeyoon, Chief of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, said, “We will do our best to reduce human and property damage caused by fires through various methods such as installing firefighting water facilities tailored to regional characteristics and installing fire extinguisher boxes in alleyways.”

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Fire Headquarters has additionally installed hose reel emergency fire extinguishing devices in 33 fire-prone areas within the province, including traditional markets and areas with fire truck access obstacles.
