Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station: "Strictly Follow Safety Rules for Using Heating Appliances"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Im Jongbok) announced on the 14th that the three major winter heating appliance safety rules must be strictly followed.

The three major winter heating appliances refer to electric heaters/mats, electric heating wires, and wood-burning boilers, which are commonly used in daily life.

These heating appliances are convenient but require special caution as minor negligence can cause significant casualties and property damage.

Safety usage methods for heating appliances include ▲checking if the product is safety certified ▲not folding or placing heavy objects on electric mats ▲always turning off the power after use ▲prohibiting the use of multi-plug adapters ▲removing dust from electrical appliances ▲checking the insulation condition of heating wires ▲verifying the proper operation of leakage circuit breakers ▲not leaving flammable materials near fire sources.

Im Jongbok, chief of Gwangsan Fire Station, said, “Winter has a high risk of fire due to the increased frequency of heating appliance use. We hope all citizens will have a safe and warm winter by thoroughly learning the correct usage and safety rules of the three major winter appliances.”
