Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Implements Measures to Improve Malfunctions in Fire Alarm and Rapid Alert Systems

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Nambu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chief Lee Jeong-ja) announced that it will conduct a special fire inspection on 22 locations that have been dispatched three or more times in the past year due to false fire alarms from fire facilities, aiming to alleviate citizens' anxiety, enhance the reliability of fire facilities, and improve the fire response capabilities of related personnel.

This special fire inspection is part of safety improvement measures for malfunctions in fire alarm and notification equipment, and plans to analyze the root causes of malfunctions in fire facilities, including ▲whether fire facilities operate normally ▲whether detectors adapted to the installation environment are installed ▲product information and malfunction occurrence history, so that these findings can be actively reflected in future revisions of related laws and institutional improvements.

In addition, targets with repeated malfunctions will be continuously managed, and special fire inspections will be conducted quarterly on those with three or more malfunctions. Cases such as the use of heating and cooling devices near detectors, heat and smoke generated during cooking, cigarette smoke, and improper operation of alarm and notification equipment will be disseminated to prevent malfunctions caused by user negligence. Continuous promotion of fire facility maintenance and fire safety consulting will be carried out simultaneously.

Kim Haeng-mo, Head of the Prevention and Safety Division at Nambu Fire Station, said, “Alarm and notification equipment are important fire facilities that notify related personnel or fire departments of a fire at the initial stage. We ask for active interest and cooperation from related parties.”
