Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Operates 'Mobile Inspection Team' for Traditional Market Fire Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Im Jongbok) announced on the 28th that it will operate a mobile inspection team as part of fire safety measures for traditional markets ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Traditional market fires occurring before holidays, such as the fire at Cheongnyangni Fruit and Vegetable Market in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul on the 21st, can lead to massive property damage due to the large stockpiling of ritual items.

Accordingly, Gwangsan Fire Station operated a mobile inspection team targeting three locations, including Songjeong Daily Market in Gwangsan-gu, to ensure a fire-free and safe Chuseok holiday.

The mobile inspection team checked the ‘visible fire extinguishers’ that anyone can easily find and use in case of fire and carried out activities to remove fire hazards within the traditional markets.

Chief Im Jongbok said, “We will do our best to ensure that citizens can have a safe and comfortable holiday during the Chuseok period through thorough fire prevention.”
