[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Song Seonghun) has urged special caution regarding kitchen fires in restaurants.


Restaurant kitchens that use a lot of oil can accumulate grease residue on hoods and ducts if not properly maintained, and if sparks generated during cooking ignite this residue, a fire can break out instantly.


To prevent kitchen fires, it is recommended to ▲ regularly clean grease residue from kitchen hoods and ducts ▲ install filters that can remove oil ▲ equip K-class fire extinguishers suitable for cooking oil fires ▲ never leave the cooking area unattended.



Lee Gwanyong, Head of the Prevention and Safety Division, said, “We hope that restaurant kitchens using fire and oil will regularly clean the grease residue accumulated on hoods and ducts and equip K-class fire extinguishers.”
