Gwangju Seobu Fire Department Implements Distribution of Residential Fire Safety Equipment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Western Fire Station announced on the 8th that it will provide free distribution of residential fire safety equipment until October to create a safe living environment and reduce casualties.

The Western Fire Station will randomly select 3,850 households, excluding those already supplied, and distribute one set of residential fire safety equipment per household (1 fire extinguisher, 2 standalone smoke detectors).

The installation of residential fire safety equipment will be carried out by six trained installers (contract workers) who have received safety education and installation training. They will visit the respective homes to select appropriate locations for the equipment, install it, and provide education on management and usage.

If residents are reluctant to allow visits due to COVID-19 or privacy concerns, they can use a delivery service. In this case, installation method videos can be sent to their mobile phones.

According to current law, fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors must be installed in single-family, multi-family, multiplex, and row houses.

Moon Hee-jun, head of the Western Fire Station, stated, “Residential fire safety equipment plays a crucial role in early fire response,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure there are no blind spots in fire risk through continuous distribution, installation, and promotion.”
