Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters Implements Safety Measures to Prevent Warehouse Fires

Emergency Fire Special Inspection of Large Warehouse Facilities, Fire Prevention Consultation for Entire Logistics Warehouses

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Gyeongsangnam-do Fire Headquarters announced on the 29th that it will implement fire safety measures at 135 logistics warehouses nationwide to prevent repeated logistics warehouse fires, including the recent fire at a logistics warehouse in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province.

By July 8, an urgent special fire inspection will be conducted on 19 large-scale warehouse facilities.

Through unannounced special fire inspections in fields such as firefighting, architecture, and electricity, fire vulnerability factors will be eliminated, and safety education will be provided to related personnel.

To ensure fire safety at logistics warehouses, fire safety management consultations will be conducted for all 135 targeted sites by July 20.

For 26 warehouses with an area exceeding 5000㎡ used as logistics warehouses, a joint investigation team will conduct consultations. For 109 warehouses with an area less than 5000㎡, the fire station's special fire inspection team will check the sites.

By July 21, joint fire suppression training tailored to each target, including on-site tactical drills, will be conducted at 39 logistics warehouses in cooperation with related organizations.

In particular, before actual training, education and training for fire response will be implemented, and after identifying the status of the target and pre-existing risk factors, firefighting training will proceed.

Since logistics warehouse fires take a long time to extinguish due to the large scale of the warehouses and the abundance of combustible materials inside, plans are in place to maintain firefighting water facilities near the warehouses and to discover natural water sources such as rivers.
