Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station Operates 'Fire Facility Illegal Activity Reporting Reward System' Year-Round

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Choi Jeongsik) announced on the 7th that it will operate a year-round reward system for reporting illegal acts related to fire facilities.

The reward system for reporting illegal acts related to fire facilities is a measure to enhance the safety management awareness of building stakeholders and to raise public interest in illegal acts such as the closure of fire facilities.

The reporting targets include six categories: cultural and assembly facilities, sales facilities, transportation facilities, lodging facilities, entertainment facilities, and complex buildings.

▲ Acts that cause fire facilities to malfunction or not operate ▲ Acts that close or block fire facilities ▲ Acts that obstruct evacuation facilities, close or damage them, and other illegal acts can be reported.

Reports of illegal acts can be made by taking photos of the violations and uploading them on the fire station’s website, or through various methods such as mail, fax, or direct visit.

Citizens who report illegal acts will receive a reward of 50,000 won for the first confirmed violation after on-site verification of the report, and if the same person reports more than twice, reward items worth 50,000 won will be given. Violators of illegal acts will be fined up to 3 million won.

A representative of the Dongbu Fire Station said, “We hope citizens actively participate in reporting illegal acts related to fire facilities to create a safer Gwangju.”
