Gwangju Nam-gu, Fire Prevention Timer Cock for Single-Parent and Dual-Income Families

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) has decided to provide fire prevention timer cocks to single-parent families with young children and dual-income households in the district, in relation to the tragic fire accident involving a single-parent family in Incheon who suffered a major fire while boiling ramen.

According to Nam-gu on the 8th, employees and volunteers of the Happy Welfare 7979 Center have been visiting low-income single-parent families raising elementary school children and dual-income couples since the 5th, installing timer cocks to prevent gas safety accidents in each household.

The number of households receiving fire prevention timer cocks is about 50.

These are vulnerable households such as single-parent families and dual-income couples who applied for timer cock installation through the 16 administrative welfare centers in the district.

The timer cock installation work is expected to continue until the 16th.

In addition, district office employees and volunteers from the Happy Welfare 7979 Center are simultaneously conducting disinfection work so that members of vulnerable households can live in a clean and safe environment while overcoming the COVID-19 crisis.

Disinfection is being carried out in about 80 households in the district, including 12 households in Juwol 2-dong, 7 households in Yangnim and Daechon-dong, and 6 households in Wolsan-dong. The supplies needed for disinfection were sponsored by The Clean Gwangju Branch, a private disinfection company.

A Nam-gu official said, “We are carrying out timer cock distribution and disinfection to ensure that children left at home can live safely and caregivers can focus on economic activities without worry. We will do our best to create a happy welfare Nam-gu.”
