Gwangju Nambu Fire Station "No Parking Near Fire Hydrants, Automatic Alarm System Activated"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Nambu Fire Station (Chief Lee Jeong-ja) announced on the 4th that it has installed and will operate visual and audio warning alarms to prevent illegal parking near fire hydrants.

Fire hydrants are essential for supplying water to fire trucks in case of a fire, but there have been cases where they could not be used due to illegal parking.

To prevent this, Nambu Fire Station selected locations with the most severe illegal parking violations and the highest number of fines near fire hydrants and installed automatic audio-visual warning alarms prohibiting parking.

The automatic audio-visual warning alarm automatically detects vehicles attempting to park near fire hydrants, sounds warning lights and alarms, and broadcasts parking prohibition announcements. This pre-warning broadcast helps eradicate illegal parking near fire hydrants and alleviates complaints related to fines imposed for illegal parking by providing prior notice.

Go Jung-hyun, Head of the 119 Disaster Response Team, urged, “We ask for your cooperation in not parking near fire hydrants so that they can be properly used when a fire occurs.”
