Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Urges Safety Rules for Wood-Burning Boilers and More
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Western Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 3rd that, following the end of the holidays and the continuation of severe cold, special caution is required when installing and using wood-fired boilers, a winter heating device.
Wood-fired boilers are widely used due to their ease of installation and use, but there is a high risk of fire because sparks can easily ignite nearby combustible materials.
Key safety rules for the safe use of wood-fired boilers include: ▲ Do not leave combustible materials around the boiler and maintain a distance of at least 2 meters ▲ Keep a fire extinguisher near the boiler room ▲ Close the door after adding wood fuel ▲ Do not add a large amount of fuel at once ▲ Clean the chimney regularly.
