Gwangju Nambu Fire Station, "Give 'Residential Fire Safety Equipment' as a Chuseok Holiday Gift"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Nambu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chief Lee Jeong-ja) announced that it is intensively promoting the 'Gift of Residential Fire Safety Equipment' to hometown houses in celebration of the upcoming Chuseok holiday.

Residential fire safety equipment refers to two types of fire safety devices: the 'fire extinguisher,' which can exert the power of one fire truck in initial fire suppression, and the 'fire alarm,' which sounds an alarm to quickly detect fire and enable evacuation.

According to the Gwangju Fire Safety Headquarters, a total of 618 residential fires (an average of 124 cases per year) occurred in the Gwangju area over the past five years (2016?2020).

Although residential fire safety equipment is mandatory to be installed to prevent residential fires, it is expected that damages will be significant due to delayed initial extinguishing and alarm caused by non-installation.

Accordingly, Kim Haeng-mo, Head of the Prevention and Safety Division at Nambu Fire Station, said, “Fire extinguishers and fire alarms are essential safety items that protect our families from fire,” and added, “We hope you gift 'residential fire safety equipment' to your hometown house during the Chuseok holiday for a safe Hangawi.”
