Wando Coast Guard Installs 'Adhesive Smart Fire Extinguishers' to Prevent Ferry Fires

[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando Maritime Police Station (Chief Park Je-su) announced that from the 25th of last month to the 6th of this month, they have completed the installation and inspection of 'Attached Smart Fire Extinguishers' to prevent ferry fires and enable rapid fire suppression.

Wando Maritime Police estimates that the main causes of fire accidents, which account for a large portion of the six major maritime accidents, are vulnerable points such as batteries and distribution panels. By installing 'Attached Smart Fire Extinguishers' on two ferries under their jurisdiction, it has become possible to perform initial fire suppression and secure the golden time in case of fire.

Additionally, since ferries with many passengers can lead to multiple casualties in the event of various maritime accidents, they plan to continue safety management and proactive accident response.

Police Officer Kim Dong-hyun of Wando Police Substation stated, "With interest in preventing fire accidents, which usually involve the greatest loss of life among maritime accidents, we promoted the installation of 'Attached Smart Fire Extinguishers' as part of proactive administration," adding, "We will strive harder to protect the lives and property of the public."
