[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] What if a fire breaks out in a narrow alley village where fire trucks have difficulty reaching? A ‘firefighting assistant’ steps in to ease such worries on behalf of firefighters.

The National Health Insurance Service Busan Ulsan Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters held a ceremony on the 28th at the Busan Northern Fire Station to deliver ‘residential fire safety equipment’ to help vulnerable groups have a safe winter. One hundred fire extinguishers and 200 fire detectors will be responsible for the safety of fire-prone neighborhoods.

This event was carried out through collaboration between the NHIS and the fire station. The NHIS provided residential fire safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and standalone alarm-type detectors. The fire station installed this equipment and conducted training on how to use fire extinguishers and fire safety education.

These firefighting assistants visit densely populated residential areas vulnerable to fire safety due to narrow fire roads.

Jurye 1-dong in Sasang-gu, Busan, was selected as a ‘fire-free safe village,’ and the equipment was delivered to vulnerable residents living in this area.

Director Jang Su-mok said, “I hope that the installation of residential fire safety equipment, essential in winter, will help prevent casualties from house fires and enable people to spend a warm and safe winter.”

The Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam headquarters continue to lead a culture of sharing by steadily carrying out social contribution activities such as care and safety checks to prevent lonely deaths among elderly people living alone, and providing lunchboxes to vulnerable groups in jjokbangchon (tiny room villages) and homeless people.
