Jeonnam Fire Department Expands Operation of 'Fire Facility Safety Management Helper Call Center'

Expectations for Reduced Economic Burden through Self-Inspection

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Department has taken the lead in alleviating the economic burden of self-inspection of fire facilities.

Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 21st that it will expand the operation of the 'Fire Facility Safety Management Helper Call Center,' which lends fire facility self-inspection equipment free of charge, as the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 has prolonged.

The call center operation aims to alleviate the economic burden of building owners conducting self-inspections of fire facilities by lending inspection tools free of charge to related parties and to carry out minor repairs of fire facilities.

The call center operates at 16 fire stations and 55 safety centers across the province, and reservations can be made through the representative phone number of each fire station.

Applicants can visit the relevant office, fill out an application form, receive training on how to use the equipment, and then borrow the equipment.

In addition, if there are minor malfunctions or damaged parts, after phone consultation, an on-site diagnosis team prepares inspection tools and parts and dispatches to the site to provide appropriate emergency measures according to the on-site conditions, such as replacing broken parts of fire facilities.

Chief Ma Jaeyoon said, "As the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 has prolonged, we must prevent poor management of fire facilities due to the economic difficulties of small-scale buildings," and added, "We will support related parties' self-inspection work of fire facilities at fire stations and actively provide fire administration services, such as maintaining the perfect operating condition of fire facilities."
