Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Guides on the Importance of Installing Temporary Firefighting Facilities at Construction Sites

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 23rd, the Western Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that the installation and management of temporary fire-fighting facilities within construction sites are important to prevent and respond to fires occurring at construction sites.

Construction sites handle flammable, combustible, and explosive materials or generate explosive suspended dust, which are causes of fire, so a lot of attention is needed for fire prevention, such as compliance with safety regulations.

The types of temporary fire-fighting facilities that must be installed at construction sites include ▲fire extinguishers ▲simple fire extinguishing devices (devices that spray water to extinguish fires) ▲emergency alarm devices (devices that can notify nearby workers of a fire) ▲simple evacuation guidance lines (devices that guide the direction to evacuation exits).

A fire station official said, “Since construction sites have many combustible and flammable materials, even a small spark can escalate into a large fire, so we ask related personnel to strictly follow safety rules to create a safe construction site.”
