Gwangju Nambu Fire Station "Install Residential Fire Safety Equipment"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 15th, the Nambu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced a request to install residential fire safety equipment in celebration of the year dedicated to promoting residential fire alarms.

Residential fire safety equipment refers to fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors. According to Article 8 of the "Act on Fire Prevention, Installation and Maintenance of Firefighting Facilities, and Safety Management," fire extinguishers must be installed at one or more per household and per floor, and standalone smoke detectors must be installed at one or more in each compartment in detached, row, and multi-family houses (excluding apartments and dormitories).

Fire extinguishers are more effective in the early stages of a fire than one fire truck, and standalone smoke detectors detect smoke and flames during a fire and sound an alarm to help people evacuate quickly.

Kim Haeng-mo, Director of the Prevention and Safety Division, urged, "Since dry spring seasons can lead to casualties if a fire occurs, please actively install residential fire safety equipment that protects safety from fire and saves lives."
