Suncheon Fire Station, Give Residential Fire Safety Equipment as a Gift to Your Hometown Home for Seollal Holiday

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The head of Suncheon Fire Station (Chief Ha Soo-cheol) announced on the 8th that they have launched a campaign to promote 'Giving Home Fire Safety Equipment as a Gift to Parents' during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

This Lunar New Year, the ban on gatherings of five or more people to prevent COVID-19 has been extended until the 14th, making it difficult to visit parents in their hometowns.

According to fire statistics from the past nine years, out of an average of 2,951 fires annually, 485 were residential fires, accounting for 16.4%, and 41.5% of fatalities occurred in residential fires.

Additionally, during the Lunar New Year holiday, about 30 more fires occur daily on average compared to usual, highlighting the critical importance of public safety awareness.

The Suncheon Fire Station has designated gifting home fire safety equipment as a safety slogan for the Lunar New Year and is actively promoting it to citizens to ensure the safety of parents living alone in their hometowns.

Ha Soo-cheol, head of Suncheon Fire Station, said, "As the time spent at home is expected to increase due to COVID-19, securing safety at residences is more important than ever. During these challenging times caused by COVID-19, I hope that this upcoming Lunar New Year, people will gift home fire safety equipment to their parents and families in their hometowns, providing safety and peace of mind."
