The special fire safety inspection conducted by Jeonnam Fire last year on major targets in the province showed a defect rate of 21% (627 sites) out of 2,924 sites inspected.

Kim Joil, Chief of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, stated, “While it is important to properly install fire safety facilities in buildings, it is even more important to thoroughly maintain and manage them regularly so they can operate normally in emergencies.”

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Fire operates specialized special fire inspection teams at the fire headquarters and each fire station, striving to ensure the safety of residents.
