Gwangju Seobu Fire Station, Reducing Fire Damage Through Distribution of Residential Fire Safety Equipment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Western Fire Station (Chief Yang Young-gyu) announced on the 27th that it has supplied residential fire safety equipment to a total of 2,412 households, including vulnerable groups and the general population, this year.

The distribution of residential fire safety equipment is a project implemented to minimize fire damage and create a safe living environment by expanding the supply of fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors. It targets vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities living in single-family and multi-family homes, as well as the general population.

Additionally, through this distribution project, there are easily found cases where fire damage was prevented, including a fire that occurred on October 9th at a general residence in Gwangcheon-dong and another on the 7th at a general residence in Hwajeong-dong, both of which were extinguished by the occupants themselves using fire extinguishers.

A fire station official stated, “There are many cases where fire damage was minimized by using residential fire safety equipment.” He added, “Installing fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors is not optional but mandatory to reduce fire damage in homes.”
