Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Conducts Fire Safety Consulting for Apartment Complexes

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Nam-gu Fire Station in Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 13th that it conducted fire safety consulting for stakeholders and residents of Bongseon-dong Namyang Hutton 2nd complex.

According to the Gwangju Fire Safety Headquarters, there were a total of 229 residential fires last year, of which 121 cases (52%) occurred in apartment complexes, with most caused by negligence.

Since apartment complexes are spaces where many people reside, the fatality rate in case of fire is high, and if a fire occurs in another unit, failure to recognize it early can lead to greater damage.

Accordingly, the Nam-gu Fire Station focused on providing guidance such as ▲ training on fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation ▲ inspection of automatic opening devices on rooftop doors ▲ caution regarding heating products like electric mats ▲ distribution of fire safety QR code stickers.

Kim Haeng-mo, Director of Prevention and Safety, said, “Apartment complexes are living spaces where residents stay constantly, making evacuation difficult during fires, so for the safety of families and neighbors, we ask all stakeholders and residents to actively participate in fire prevention.”
