Head of Department Jae-yoon Ma visits Suncheon Nagan Eupseong Folk Village and inspects fire safety facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Department is making every effort to ensure the safety management of nationally designated cultural properties.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 22nd, Director Ma Jaeyoon visited the Nagan Eupseong Folk Village in Suncheon the day before to check fire hydrants and emergency fire extinguishing devices and urged safety management of cultural properties.

The Nagan Eupseong Folk Village includes 10 nationally designated cultural properties, including Historic Site No. 302, and 15 Jeonnam Province designated cultural properties such as General Im Gyeong-eop's residence.

Due to the nature of the folk village, wooden buildings and thatched roofs constitute a significant portion, making fire prevention the top priority.

The Jeonnam Fire Department plans to do its best in safety management by strengthening fire prevention and patrols to prevent the loss of cultural properties due to fire.

Director Ma Jaeyoon of the Fire Headquarters said, “Fire prevention is the top priority to preserve cultural properties with historical and cultural value and to minimize casualties and property damage,” and added, “We ask related parties to do their best in cultural property safety management together with the fire stations.”
