Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station Chief's On-Site Guidance Visit to Large Retail Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 29th, the Gwangju Northern Fire Station conducted an on-site guidance visit targeting Donggwangju Homeplus, a large retail facility with a goods unloading area or parking lot.

Large retail facilities have many stored items and a large scale, so if a fire is not extinguished early, the combustible materials stored inside can ignite, causing the fire to rapidly grow and potentially lead to large-scale casualties.

Accordingly, through the on-site guidance visit by the fire station chief, they conducted ▲ identification of fire vulnerability factors ▲ inspection of the maintenance status of fire-fighting facilities and evacuation/fire prevention facilities ▲ fire safety education for related personnel, focusing on checking fire-prone areas such as goods unloading areas, waste box storage locations, electric vehicle charger installation sites, and parcel loading/unloading zones.

Lee Dong-young, chief of the Northern Fire Station, stated, “We will promptly carry out safety inspections including the pre-removal of fire vulnerability factors in large retail facilities used by many citizens,” and added, “We ask related personnel to take an active interest in fire prevention for everyone's safety.”
