Gyeongju City Supports Residential Fire Safety Equipment for Disaster-Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongju City, Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 17th that it will promote a project to support the installation of residential fire safety facilities until September to enable disaster-vulnerable residents to respond quickly to fire accidents.

The support targets include basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty groups, people with disabilities, multicultural families, single-parent families, youth heads of households, and elderly single-person households aged 65 or older. Fire extinguishers and standalone fire alarm detectors will be installed in these disaster-vulnerable households.

Along with the installation of fire safety facilities, promotional materials for the "365 Days of Attention and Care, Family Safety Training" campaign, which contains easy and specific action guidelines that can be practiced in each household, will be distributed. The fire extinguisher-shaped promotional model was creatively produced by the Safety Policy Division and has received great responses from citizens, fire stations, and related organizations.

Since last year, Gyeongju City has enacted an ordinance to support fire safety facilities for disaster-vulnerable groups and has been providing fire safety equipment. This year, fire extinguishers and standalone alarm detectors will be supported for about 1,600 households, and installation will be carried out through visits in cooperation with the volunteer fire brigade.

Ye Byeong-won, head of the Safety Policy Division, pledged, "We will make every effort to create a safe city without disasters by installing fire safety facilities in all vulnerable households through continuous cooperation with related organizations such as fire stations."
