Jeju Ara 119 Center Promotes 'Installation of Residential Fire Safety Equipment'

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Fire Station Ara 119 Center (Center Director Yang Changwon) announced on the 23rd that during the recent Chuseok holiday period, it promoted the installation of residential fire safety equipment in densely populated residential areas within its jurisdiction to prevent house fires.

Residential fire safety equipment includes fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors (residential fire alarms) that must be installed in single-family, multi-family, row, and multiplex houses. These devices are fire safety tools that can effectively replace fire trucks in the early stages of a fire at home.

Fire extinguishers must be installed at one or more per household per floor (with a usage period of 10 years), and standalone smoke detectors (with a battery life of 10 years) must be installed at one or more in each compartmented room such as bedrooms and living rooms.

Yang Changwon, the director of the 119 Center, said, “We will take the lead in raising residents’ awareness of residential fire safety equipment and spreading a voluntary installation atmosphere through continuous fire prevention publicity.”
