[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Nambu Fire Station (Chief Lee Jeong-ja) designated and held a ceremony on the 9th to establish Nombak Village in Hwajang-dong, Nam-gu as a "Fire-Free Safe Village" to reduce fire damage in densely populated residential areas where initial fire response is difficult.

About 30 people including firefighters, volunteer firefighters, Daechon-dong chief, and local residents attended the event, which included ▲appointment of honorary firefighters for Nombak Village ▲Fire-Free Safe Village plaque ceremony ▲safety education such as how to use residential fire safety equipment ▲distribution of residential fire safety equipment.

Kim Haeng-mo, head of the Prevention and Safety Division at Nambu Fire Station, said, “Since Nombak Village has been designated as a Fire-Free Safe Village, we will continue to manage it consistently,” and added, “We ask all residents to pay special attention to fire prevention.”

Meanwhile, on the 7th, Nambu Fire Station conducted follow-up management including education and distribution of residential fire safety equipment to 25 households in Sinjang Village with the participation of about 15 people including firefighters and volunteer firefighters.
