Jeonnam Fire Department: "Do Not Commit Illegal Acts Such as Storing Items in Emergency Exits"

Year-Round Operation of the Reporting Reward System

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Kim Joil) announced on the 18th that it will operate a year-round reward system for reporting illegal activities related to fire facilities, such as emergency exits, to ensure proper maintenance and management of fire facilities.

The 'Illegal Activity Reporting Reward System' is a system that rewards residents who report illegal activities such as closure, locking, or damage to fire facilities and evacuation facilities (emergency exits) in accordance with the ordinance for operating the illegal activity reporting reward system for fire facilities.

The facilities subject to reporting rewards include multi-use establishments under the Special Act on Safety Management of Multi-use Establishments, and specific fire target objects under the Enforcement Decree of the Fire Services Act, such as cultural and assembly facilities, transportation facilities, lodging facilities, entertainment facilities, and complex buildings.

The illegal activities subject to reporting include ▲ leaving fire facilities in a broken state ▲ placing objects in emergency exits and using them in a constantly closed state ▲ closing or damaging evacuation facilities (such as fire shutters), or installing obstacles, etc.

First-time reporters will receive 50,000 KRW (cash or traditional market Onnuri gift certificates), and reporters who report two or more times will receive fire facilities worth about 50,000 KRW, such as fire extinguishers or standalone alarm detectors.

The same reporter can receive rewards up to 300,000 KRW per month and 3,000,000 KRW per year.

However, reports made under pseudonyms or colluded in advance for the purpose of receiving rewards, or other fraudulent or unfair reports, will be excluded from reward payments.

Chief Kim Joil said, “We ask for the interest of residents so that emergency exits can play their role during fires and prevent casualties.”
