Lee Sang-geun, the governor of Goseong County, Gyeongnam, inspected the Goseong market site and conducted a safety check to prevent fires within the market.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] Lee Sang-geun, the governor of Goseong County, Gyeongnam, conducted a safety inspection to prevent fires while touring the Goseong Market site.

The on-site inspection conducted on the 1st was arranged to prevent accidents like the large fire that recently occurred at a wholesale market in another region and to firmly instill safety awareness among merchants and related officials amid increasingly dry weather.

On that day, Governor Lee received a report on the safety management status at Goseong Market and directly examined and inspected risk factors such as the maintenance status of electrical facilities and firefighting equipment.

At the site, Governor Lee said, "In traditional markets where dozens of stores are densely packed, special caution and inspection are necessary because a fire could easily spread into a large-scale fire."

He added, "We will thoroughly carry out the joint public-private inspection from November 1 to 8 to identify fire-related hazards and do our best to prevent fires."

The county has designated the period from November 1 to November 8 as the traditional market fire safety inspection period and will conduct special inspections of four traditional markets in the county together with related departments, the fire station, electrical field specialized institutions, and the merchants' association.

The main contents will focus on inspecting vulnerable points to fire such as firefighting facilities (sprinklers, fire safety detectors, broadcasting equipment, etc.), old wiring, and distribution boards.
