[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Fire Safety Headquarters (Chief Park Geun-oh) announced on the 7th that, following the Itaewon disaster, it is conducting safety inspections on multi-crowded streets such as Daehak-ro and major multi-use facilities in the province until the 15th.

The inspection targets include a total of 157 locations: 88 multi-use establishments around Daehak-ro near Jeju City Hall and 69 major multi-use facilities in the province (multi-use establishments with a total floor area of 1,000㎡ or more, medium to large retail facilities, youth facilities, cinemas, etc.).

The main inspection items focus on violations of fire safety laws such as closing or locking emergency exits, cutting off power or valves of fire-fighting facilities, and neglecting malfunctions. If violations are detected, strict measures will be taken according to relevant regulations.

The Fire Safety Headquarters plans to form joint inspection teams with fire stations to enhance the effectiveness of inspections through unannounced surprise investigations, while simultaneously providing safety consulting to related parties to raise awareness of safety accidents.

Additionally, they intend to strengthen preventive patrols centered on multi-crowded streets and areas, establish a rapid reporting system in case of emergencies, and establish a response posture through thorough situation management without gaps.

Chief Park Geun-oh stated, “We will do our utmost to prevent safety accidents and strengthen fire safety management through fire safety inspections of multi-crowded streets, areas, and major multi-use facilities.”
