Jeju Fire Station Operates 'Store Inspection Day' Focused on Market Merchants

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Fire Station announced on the 10th that it operated a Store Inspection Day centered on market merchants to prevent winter fires in traditional markets within the jurisdiction, such as Dongmun Market and Seomun Market, on the 9th.

The Store Inspection Day is held on the second Wednesday of every month during the winter season.

It is being promoted to raise awareness and establish a fire safety culture early through voluntary safety inspections led by the market merchants' association.

The main activities included ▲ safety inspections of each market store, such as removing fire hazards and checking firefighting facilities ▲ fire safety consulting and fire prevention education ▲ promotional activities through campaigns for the safe use of three major winter items (electric heaters, mats, electric heating wires, wood-burning boilers) and fire safety management for residents living within the market.

Kim Youngho, head of Jeju Fire Station, said, “In traditional markets, the initial response by market merchants is very important in the event of fires or other disasters,” and added, “We will actively promote firefighting policies to create safe traditional markets by establishing a voluntary fire management system centered on merchants.”
