Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Urges Fire Safety Management in Apartment Complexes

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Western Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City emphasized fire safety management for apartment complexes where there is a risk of human casualties and property damage in the event of a fire on the 7th.

The main points include ▲thorough maintenance of fire facilities such as placing fire extinguishers in each household ▲securing exclusive parking spaces for fire trucks ▲familiarizing residents with evacuation methods for each apartment complex ▲prohibiting the storage of items in lightweight partition evacuation spaces.

In preparation for the spread of fire in apartment complexes, residents should know the correct fire evacuation methods, such as covering the nose and mouth with one hand and evacuating in a low posture, and familiarize themselves with the use of lightweight partitions and emergency escape devices installed on balconies to evacuate outside the building.

Jo Yong-bok, Director of Prevention and Safety, said, “Fires in apartment complexes can cause significant human casualties and property damage, so voluntary safety management by residents and managers is important.”
