Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Operates Illegal Activity Reporting Reward Program Year-Round

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 14th, the Nambu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it will operate a year-round reward system for reporting illegal activities such as the closure of emergency exits to ensure rapid evacuation and safety in case of fire.

The reward system is designed to reward those who report violations such as important emergency exits and fire facilities that allow evacuation during a fire, encouraging voluntary reporting by citizens and raising awareness.

The targets for reporting include illegal acts such as closure or blocking (including locking) of fire facilities in cultural and assembly facilities, sales facilities, transportation facilities, lodging facilities, entertainment facilities, complex buildings, and multi-use establishments, as well as placing objects around evacuation facilities such as stairs and corridors that hinder evacuation.

To report, one must attach evidence to the report form for violations of maintenance and management of fire facilities and submit it via visit, mail, or fax. After review, a reward of 50,000 KRW per report is given.

Kim Haeng-mo, Director of the Prevention and Safety Division, said, “Disaster prevention depends most on the safety awareness and voluntary inspections of those involved. We ask for much interest in the reward system for reporting illegal activities such as the closure of emergency exits, the doors of life, so that a safe environment can be created.”
