Gyeongbuk Office of Education Expands Installation of 'Sprinklers' in Small Attached Kindergartens

Installation of Sprinklers in Attached Kindergartens with Floor Area Under 300㎡ by 2023

Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 24th that it will invest a budget of 15.84 billion KRW by 2023 to complete the installation of sprinkler systems in 345 attached kindergartens with a floor area of less than 300㎡.

Currently, all schools in the province have fire safety facilities such as fire detectors, indoor fire hydrants, and sprinkler systems legally installed for fire monitoring and extinguishing as stipulated by fire-related laws.

However, attached kindergartens with a floor area of less than 300㎡ are not mandated to have sprinklers by law, leaving them as fire blind spots.

Park Tae-kyung, head of the Facilities Division, stated, "No matter how many times we emphasize the importance of early fire suppression and securing the golden time for evacuation, it is never enough. Therefore, we will promptly complete the sprinkler installation project to ensure the fire safety of all school buildings at an early stage."
