Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station Operates 'Illegal Act Reporting Reward System' for Emergency Exits Year-Round

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station (Chief Lee Wonyong) announced on the 25th that it will operate a "Reward System for Reporting Illegal Acts" related to the closure of emergency exits and fire safety facilities, which are prepared for evacuation in case of disasters such as fires, throughout the year.

The targets for reporting rewards include ▲closure (including locking) or blocking of emergency exits installed in large sales facilities, transportation facilities, lodging facilities, and entertainment facilities ▲closure or damage of corridors, stairs, and entrances ▲placing objects in emergency exits and evacuation routes that obstruct evacuation.

Anyone aged 19 or older registered in Gwangju Metropolitan City can report.

Reports can be made by attaching proof documents to a separate report form and submitting it in person, by mail, fax, or via information communication networks to the chief of the relevant fire station.

Rewards such as cash will be paid to the reporter after confirming the illegal act on site and going through the review committee for reward payment.

The reward paid is 50,000 KRW in cash or Onnuri gift certificates for the first report, and for the same person reporting two or more times, reward items worth 50,000 KRW per case such as fire extinguishers or standalone smoke detectors will be provided, subject to separate payment restrictions.

A representative of the Bukbu Fire Station said, "Emergency exits are the doors of life that allow evacuation when a fire occurs," and added, "We hope citizens show great interest to spread safety awareness and minimize human and property damage from fires."
