Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station "Please Keep Fire Truck Exclusive Zones in Apartment Complexes Clear"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Im Jongbok) has started promoting the necessity of securing fire truck exclusive zones in apartment complexes.

On the 19th, Gwangsan Fire Station announced that it requests active participation in securing fire truck exclusive zones within apartment complexes for rapid rescue and smooth firefighting activities in case of disasters.

According to Article 21-2 (Fire Truck Exclusive Zones, etc.) of the Fire Services Act, revised and enforced from August 10, 2018, it is mandatory to install at least one fire truck exclusive zone on the front or rear side of each building in apartments with 100 or more households and dormitories with three or more floors.

If a vehicle is parked, objects are stored, or surface markings are erased or damaged within the fire truck exclusive zone, a fine of 500,000 KRW will be imposed for the first offense and 1,000,000 KRW for repeated offenses.

Im Jongbok, Chief of Gwangsan Fire Station, said, “In case of fires in apartment complexes, illegal parking can delay fire truck access and cause significant damage. We ask for the active interest and cooperation of citizens to secure fire truck exclusive zones to prevent harm to precious family members and neighbors.”
