Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Launches 'Residential Fire Safety Equipment Installation' Campaign

Intensive Promotion of Chuseok Travel Hubs and High-Traffic Facilities for Returning Visitors

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Im Jongbok) is launching an intensive campaign to promote the ‘Installation of Residential Fire Safety Equipment’ targeting key transit locations for holiday travelers such as Songjeong Station and multi-use facilities.

According to Gwangsan Fire Station on the 14th, this campaign will be conducted from the 21st of this month to the 4th of next month to foster a safety culture consensus, including fire prevention, ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, the campaign will be conducted in a non-face-to-face manner using the website, SNS, and large electronic billboards.

‘Residential fire safety equipment’ refers to residential fire alarms that alert occupants to evacuate early in the event of a fire and fire extinguishers that can suppress fires in their initial stages to prevent residential fires.

Chief Im Jongbok said, “According to statistics from the Fire Agency, the fatality rate from residential fires over the past eight years is 2.5 times higher than that of other fires,” adding, “We hope people will no longer delay installing residential fire safety equipment that will serve as their home’s safety guardian.”
