Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Conducts 'Fire Safety Inspection' at Local Traditional Markets

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Song Seonghun) is putting all its efforts into preventing fires in traditional markets.

On the 14th, Gwangsan Fire Station announced that it conducted safety inspections by visiting three traditional markets in the jurisdiction: Songjeong Daily Market, Songjeong 5-Day Market, and 1913 Songjeong Station Market.

This initiative was promoted to prevent fires in traditional markets by encouraging voluntary store inspections by local merchants to eliminate fire vulnerabilities in advance and to check the management status of firefighting facilities, as well as to raise safety awareness among market merchants.

On the day, the focus was on ▲ promoting fire safety education and fire prevention consulting in cooperation with market merchant associations, ▲ urging the removal of fire vulnerabilities within stores and safe use of electrical and gas facilities, and ▲ explaining the use of visible fire extinguishers and emergency fire suppression devices.

Chief Song Seonghun said, “Due to the structural characteristics of markets where stores are densely packed, if a fire occurs, it is highly likely to lead to a large-scale fire, so special caution is required. Along with fire prevention measures for traditional markets, we will establish thorough response measures and strive harder to minimize damage in case of emergencies.”
