Jeonnam Fire Department, Full Effort to Prevent Fires During Chuseok Holiday

Fire Safety Measures Promoted... Strengthening Fire Safety Consulting

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters is making every effort to prevent fires during the Chuseok holiday.

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 15th that it will implement fire safety measures during the Chuseok holiday to ensure a safe holiday free from fire.

Until the 5th of next month, the focus will be on encouraging voluntary safety management by those responsible for specific fire safety targets within the province, and strengthening fire safety consulting for vulnerable targets.

In particular, this year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, consulting will be conducted non-face-to-face by having the responsible parties perform self-inspections and report the results to the fire station, using written documents and videos.

Additionally, during the holiday period, autonomous safety management establishment and fire prevention patrol activities will be strengthened for industrial facilities that are not in operation, and special fire alert duty will be carried out before and after Chuseok to reinforce the initial response system.

Furthermore, to raise awareness of fire safety, promotional activities will be intensified, focusing on the installation of residential fire safety facilities, fire prevention rules, and important fire safety precautions to be observed.

Chief Ma Jaeyoon said, “Since the measures are focused on non-face-to-face methods to prevent the continued spread of COVID-19, we ask everyone to pay extra attention to fire prevention and have a safe holiday.”

Meanwhile, over the past three years, a total of 85 fires occurred during the Chuseok holiday period in Jeonnam Province, resulting in 2 injuries and property damage amounting to 355,879,000 KRW.
