[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, participated in the '119 Relay Challenge' on the 12th. The '119 Relay Challenge' is a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of installing residential fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and detectors to prevent fires.

Having been nominated by Yoo Sung-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol joined the campaign and encouraged the installation of fire safety equipment in homes by posting a certification photo on SNS with the phrase, "One fire extinguisher and detector for each house and vehicle."

Since 2019, Dongdaemun-gu has been implementing various projects to prevent fires, including distributing fire alarms and fire extinguishers to fire-vulnerable households, providing smoke masks for fire evacuation in multi-use facilities within the district, and installing emergency fire extinguisher boxes in fire-prone areas such as regions with poor fire truck access.

Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol urged residents, saying, "For the safety of myself and my neighbors, I hope every household installs detectors and fire extinguishers."

He then nominated Kang In-gyu, Mayor of Naju City, and Kim Kwang-cheol, Governor of Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi Province, as the next participants in the '119 Relay Challenge.'
