Yangsan Fire Station Promotes Installation of Residential Fire Alarms to Enhance Fire Alarm Awareness
Experience Using Fire Alarms, Operation Practice, and Understanding the Importance of Fire Alarm Installation
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Yangsan Fire Station in Gyeongnam announced on the 10th that it will promote various publicity activities to raise awareness of the importance of residential fire alarms and to encourage their installation by providing hands-on experience with fire alarm operation and emphasizing the importance of installation.
Over the past eight years, fire deaths in general residences accounted for 37.5% of all fire fatalities, and the greatest number of casualties occur annually in homes, making the installation of residential fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers and residential fire alarms) more necessary than ever.
According to the Act on Fire Prevention, Installation and Maintenance of Firefighting Facilities, and Safety Management, since February 5, 2017, all general residences (including single-family, multi-family, multiplex, and row houses) are required to install residential fire safety equipment. However, even after the mandatory installation enforcement, the nationwide installation rate of residential fire alarms remains at only 56%.
To promote the installation of fire alarms, the Yangsan Fire Station is distributing leaflets at large local marts that easily explain the installation, target locations, standards, and management methods of residential fire alarms to citizens, providing guidance on how to use fire alarms, and emphasizing the importance of voluntary installation of residential fire safety equipment through a “Our Home Safety Residential Fire Alarm Installation” campaign.
