Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station Operates Traditional Market 'Autonomous Fire Brigade'
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Choi Jeongsik) announced on the 28th that it will operate a ‘Self-Fire Brigade’ to establish an autonomous prevention system against fire and various safety accident risks at four traditional markets.
The traditional market Self-Fire Brigade was formed to eliminate safety concerns in traditional markets through rapid and immediate response by a ‘Self-Fire Brigade’ composed of merchants within the market, following the enactment of the ‘Gwangju Metropolitan City Traditional Market Self-Fire Brigade Support Ordinance’ in March.
The main duties include ▲fire monitoring and night patrols ▲securing fire lanes around the market in case of fire ▲guidance on fire prevention and prohibition of excessive storage of goods ▲evacuation of people during fires and initial firefighting using fire facilities.
