Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Operates Reward System for Reporting Illegal Acts Related to Fire Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 4th, the Gwangju Nambu Fire Station announced that it is operating the ‘Reward System for Reporting Illegal Acts Related to Firefighting Facilities’ to minimize casualties through prompt and safe evacuation.

The Reward System for Reporting Illegal Acts Related to Firefighting Facilities is a system established to reward those who report violations regarding emergency exits and firefighting facilities that allow safe evacuation during a fire.

The reporting targets include cultural and assembly facilities, sales facilities, transportation facilities, lodging facilities, entertainment facilities, complex buildings, and multi-use establishments. Violations include closing or blocking (including locking) firefighting facilities, and placing objects around evacuation facilities in stairways or corridors that obstruct evacuation.

To report, one must attach evidence to the report form for violations of maintenance and management of firefighting facilities and submit it in person, by mail, or fax to the relevant fire station. After review, a reward equivalent to 50,000 KRW (such as Onnuri gift certificates) is given per report.

Kim Haeng-mo, Director of the Prevention and Safety Division, said, “Firefighting facilities are important for initial response to fires, and emergency exits are like doors to life during a fire.” He added, “We ask for citizens’ active interest so that safety awareness and the reward system for reporting can be expanded.”
