Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Conducts Joint Fire Safety Inspection at Subway Stations and Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Western Fire Station (Chief Moon Hee-jun) announced on the 22nd that it will conduct a joint public-private inspection of nine subway and railway stations within its jurisdiction.

This inspection was initiated to alleviate citizens' anxiety caused by the ongoing urban railway facility fires and to prevent fires in advance.

The inspection team includes a special fire investigation team and private experts (fire facility managers).

The main points include ▲checking the maintenance and management status of fire and fire prevention facilities ▲reviewing fire plans and self-inspection related documents ▲understanding the organization and operation status of self-fire brigades ▲establishing cooperation systems with related organizations.

Jo Yong-bok, Director of Prevention and Safety, said, “Given the characteristics of urban railways used by an unspecified large number of people ahead of the Chuseok holiday, the risk of large-scale casualties in the event of a fire is very high. We will do our best to strengthen safety management to ensure citizens' safe use of urban railway facilities.”
