Gwangju Bukbu Fire Department, Effective Role of Residential Fire Alarms

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Northern Fire Station announced on the 19th that the damage related to the fire was minimized thanks to the fire alarm.

At around 3:46 a.m. that day, a fire broke out at a house in Duam-dong, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, and immediately the fire alarm installed on the ceiling sounded, allowing the resident to quickly evacuate outside.

There were no casualties, and only minor property damage such as the loss of kitchen utensils occurred.

The fire was extinguished by firefighters about 8 minutes after the report was received.

Song Il-su, the on-site response team leader, said, “If the fire had been recognized or reported late during the early morning when everyone was asleep, it could have led to a large-scale fire. Since it has been proven effective in protecting lives and property during a fire, please actively participate in installing residential fire safety equipment.”

Meanwhile, residential fire safety equipment must be mandatorily installed in houses without separate fire safety facilities.
