Jeonnam Fire Department Conducts Special Fire Inspection Ahead of Buddha's Birthday

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters will conduct a special fire inspection on temples and wooden cultural assets in the province from the 11th to the 29th in preparation for Buddha's Birthday.

This special fire inspection was arranged to eliminate fire risk factors in advance, as the use of various fire sources such as lantern installations and candle usage is expected to increase around the Buddha's Birthday celebration event on the 8th of next month.

Among the 505 temples and wooden cultural assets in the province, 130 major sites designated as national treasures and others were selected, and a joint inspection team consisting of the headquarters, fire station special fire inspection teams, and the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation will conduct the inspection.

They will provide fire safety management guidance on vulnerable factors such as lanterns and candles, check the normal operation and maintenance status of fire-fighting facilities, and require correction of any deficiencies before Buddha's Birthday.

Additionally, fire safety consulting will be conducted for related personnel, including education on the use of fire-fighting facilities, confirmation of installation of no-smoking signs and fire extinguishers around temples, and requests to prohibit unauthorized garbage burning.

A representative of the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters said, “As the use of fire sources within temples and the gathering of large crowds increase around Buddha's Birthday, the possibility of fire occurrence also rises. We ask for your active cooperation to pay special attention and ensure a fire-free Buddha's Birthday.”
