"Traditional Market Fires Are Nonexistent" ... Changwon Special City Installs Fire Alarm Systems

Support for Installation at 809 Stores in Masan Fish Market, Changwon Central Market, Jinhae Central Market, and Changdong Integrated Shopping Center

Changwon City Hall, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam is installing fire alarm facilities in four traditional markets and shopping districts, including Masan Fish Market, to ensure rapid response in case of fire.

The fire alarm facility installation project involves installing fire detectors in individual stores to immediately notify the relevant fire station and merchants in the event of a fire, establishing a system to respond quickly to fires 24 hours a day without any gaps.

The fire alarm facility installation project is being promoted through the Small and Medium Venture Business Ministry's public contest project and the Public Procurement Service's innovative product pilot purchase project.

The Small and Medium Venture Business Ministry's selected project receives 70% of national funding, with a project cost of 487 million KRW, targeting 609 stores in Masan Fish Market, Changwon Central Market, and Jinhae Central Market. The Public Procurement Service's innovative product pilot purchase project installs fire alarm facilities in 200 stores in Changdong Integrated Shopping Center without additional budget input, ensuring citizens' safety while also achieving a budget saving effect of about 160 million KRW.

Changwon City has been operating fire alarm facilities installed in 962 stores across five markets and shopping districts, including Sangnam Market, until 2021, and plans to continuously expand the fire alarm facility installation project step by step to protect citizens' property and safety.

Hong Nam-pyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “We will do our best to protect citizens' property and safety from fire by installing fire alarm facilities to supplement the facilities of traditional markets vulnerable to fire.”
