Gwangju Seobu Fire Station "The Second Safety Belt, Keep a Vehicle Fire Extinguisher"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Western Fire Station (Chief Yang Young-gyu) urged on the 23rd that each vehicle must be equipped with a vehicle fire extinguisher to minimize damage caused by vehicle fires.

In the event of a vehicle fire, the fire spreads quickly due to fuel and other oils inside the vehicle, and since it is more likely to occur in places such as highways or remote roads where the fire brigade's arrival may be delayed, initial response using a vehicle fire extinguisher is important.

If a fire occurs while driving, immediately stop on the shoulder, turn off the engine, attempt to extinguish the fire with a vehicle fire extinguisher, then evacuate to a safe place to prevent secondary accidents, and report to 119.

Yang Young-gyu, Chief of the Western Fire Station, said, "One vehicle fire extinguisher can protect the lives of yourself and your family in the event of a fire." He added, "Citizens' interest and cooperation are needed to equip each vehicle with a vehicle fire extinguisher."
