Gwangju Seobu Fire Station, Notice on Establishing Fire Safety Plans for Apartment Complexes

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 6th, the Western Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it is promoting the newly established and produced Apartment Fire Safety Management Plan.

The Apartment Fire Safety Management Plan was created to suit the characteristics of apartment complexes by adding distinctiveness to the existing fire safety plans. With the increasing fire risks due to the complex and high-rise nature of apartment buildings, the plan aims to prevent and prepare for disasters caused by fires in advance, and to respond and recover quickly and efficiently in case of fire, thereby minimizing casualties and property damage.

According to Article 20, Paragraph 6 of the Act on Fire Prevention, Installation and Maintenance of Firefighting Facilities and Safety Management, a fire safety plan must be prepared, and a fine of up to 3 million KRW may be imposed for violations.

The fire safety plan records all fire-related operations, including the status, inspection, and maintenance of firefighting facilities, fire drills, evacuation plans, and the establishment of emergency contact networks.

A fire official stated, “We will actively engage in guidance on how to prepare and promotional activities to ensure that the newly established Apartment Fire Safety Management Plan is utilized appropriately for its intended purpose.”
