Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Operates 'Visiting Firefighting Service' for Fire-Prone Areas
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] On the 21st, Gwangju Nambu Fire Station announced that it will operate a 'Visiting Fire Service' to spread fire safety culture and raise safety awareness among residents in remote natural villages vulnerable to fire within its jurisdiction.
Remote natural villages vulnerable to fire refer to places located far from fire stations with narrow access roads, where arrival times may be delayed during fire or emergency dispatches, creating blind spots in receiving prompt fire services.
The main contents of the Visiting Fire Service include holding meetings with village representatives to ▲listen to residents' opinions for improving fire services ▲distributing fire extinguishers and timer gas cocks to vulnerable households such as the elderly ▲reinvestigating the installation status of residential fire safety facilities.
In addition, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, volunteer fire brigades will support disinfection and sterilization efforts.
