Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Promotes Ban on Illegal Parking Near Firefighting Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Seobu Fire Station (Chief Lee Cheontaek) has launched a campaign to promote the prohibition of illegal parking around fire facilities.

According to the Seobu Fire Station on the 22nd, parking and stopping are prohibited around fire facilities based on Article 32 of the Road Traffic Act, and violators are fined under the enforcement decree of the same law.

This is to ensure smooth firefighting activities and improve conditions for securing fire truck access routes in case of fire.

Since the law was amended in August 2019, if illegal parking occurs in places where safety signs are installed and the pavement is marked in red around fire facilities, fines have been increased by about twice.

Anyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Korea can report illegal parking by running the Safe Report app and registering a photo of the illegally parked vehicle.

A Seobu Fire Station official said, “To minimize damage through prompt initial response in case of fire, it is necessary to develop a habit of not illegally parking around fire facilities.”
