[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Choi Jeongsik, Chief of Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station, held a fire prevention video conference targeting facilities where self-evacuation is difficult.

According to Dongbu Fire Station on the 31st, the conference was conducted non-face-to-face through an online video conferencing app in a situation where face-to-face events, which had been suspended due to COVID-19, could not be continued.

It was promoted to achieve zero casualties in the event of a fire through discussions on evacuation measures with personnel from nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and special schools.

The conference proceeded in the order of ▲discussion of evacuation guidance measures tailored to each target's circumstances ▲notification of amendments to fire-related laws and regular reminders ▲sharing of excellent fire prevention cases ▲discussion on creating communication channels using SNS ▲listening to suggestions and difficulties.

Chief Choi of Dongbu Fire Station said, “Facilities for users who have difficulty self-evacuating are more likely to suffer human and property damage due to smoke and toxic gases rather than flames,” and added, “We ask for your attention to fire facilities and safety management.”
