Jeonnam Fire Department: "Install Residential Fire Safety Equipment in Your Hometown Home"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) is launching an intensive campaign to promote ‘Gifting Home Fire Safety Equipment to Hometown Houses’ ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 21st, this promotion will be carried out as a lifestyle-oriented campaign to encourage the installation of home fire safety equipment and create an environment for voluntary installation until the 4th of next month.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, instead of face-to-face campaigns, non-face-to-face promotions will be conducted using media such as 380 video devices in multi-use facilities, radio, and SNS.

In the past five years (2015?2019), there were 2,827 residential fires in the Jeonnam area (an average of 565 per year), accounting for 21.2% of the total 13,344 fires. The death rate was 53 out of 91 total deaths (58.2%).

It is known that casualties caused by fires occurring in homes can be reduced by fire alarms that help people evacuate quickly and fire extinguishers that enable initial fire suppression.

Chief Ma Jaeyoon said, “I hope this Chuseok will be meaningful by gifting safety through home fire safety equipment to family and relatives whom we cannot visit to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
