[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 16th that it conducted a joint inspection of firefighting facilities in collaboration with the fire station to prepare for fire incidents due to increased use of heating appliances during winter.

The county has 178 rural-type fire hydrants within its jurisdiction, which play an important role in supplying firefighting water quickly in the event of fires in villages where fire trucks have difficulty accessing or in case of forest fires, enabling early fire suppression.

The joint inspection included checking the operation and usability of fire hydrants, confirming the effective range during fires, and inspecting other facilities such as fire hoses and signboards.

Jo Young-hyun, Director of the Water and Sewage Business Office, stated, “Please ensure the safe use of heating products such as electric heaters, electric mats, electric heating wires, and wood boilers during winter, and promptly report any damaged fire hydrants to the Water and Sewage Business Office or 119.”

The county plans to verify usability and promptly repair any malfunctioning facilities.
