Gwangju Seobu Fire Station "Initial Extinguishing of Residential Fire with Fire Extinguisher"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Western Fire Station (Chief Yang Young-gyu) reported that a fire broke out around 11:13 a.m. on the 4th at a multi-family house in Ssangchon-dong, Seo-gu, but the initial extinguishing attempt using a nearby fire extinguisher prevented major damage.

The resident of the house had gone out while cooking food, and smoke was generated as the food and pot burned. At this time, the upstairs resident noticed this and was able to prevent the fire from spreading by using a nearby fire extinguisher to attempt initial extinguishing.

The building was a target for the distribution of residential fire safety equipment promoted based on the "Gwangju Metropolitan City Residential Fire Safety Equipment Installation Standards Ordinance."

A fire station official encouraged installation, stating, "As seen in many cases where residential fire safety equipment minimized fire damage, installing residential fire safety equipment is essential."
