Jeju Fire Department "Apply for Fire-Safe Residential Fire Equipment"

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Fire Safety Headquarters announced on the 28th that it will operate an application system for residential fire safety equipment support starting in September to create a fire-safe living environment.

Following the revision and enforcement of the "Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Ordinance on Fire Safety Equipment Installation Standards for Residential and Vacation Pensions" on June 25, the scope of support for installing residential fire safety equipment has been expanded and clarified compared to before, and applicants can now apply directly themselves.

The eligible applicants include households where elderly people aged 65 or older live alone, persons with disabilities, recipients of government aid and near-poverty class, households composed only of minors, or households where the head qualifies.

Applicants who wish to apply can download the application form from the Fire Safety Headquarters or each fire station’s website, fill it out, verify eligibility through relevant departments such as the administrative city office, and then submit it to the jurisdictional fire station via fax, email, or in person.

The Fire Safety Headquarters has secured enough equipment to install in 1,000 households to ensure smooth operation of the residential fire safety equipment support application system, and plans to directly support installation of residential fire safety equipment in eligible households through collaboration with volunteer fire brigades within this year.

To facilitate smooth implementation of the system, a cooperative framework with related departments has been established, and public awareness will be strengthened through broadcasting promotional videos on bus information systems and electronic signboards, displaying banners, and posting posters. The quantity of residential fire safety equipment support will also be continuously secured in the future.

Park Geun-o, head of the Fire Safety Headquarters, said, “We will actively promote the residential fire safety equipment support application system and support installation to create a safe living environment for residents,” adding, “We will continue to discover and actively pursue projects closely related to residents’ safety.”
