Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station Urges Installation of Emergency Bathrobes in Bathhouses and Others

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 19th, the Northern Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced a request to provide emergency bathrobes that can be quickly worn and used for evacuation in case of fire at places such as bathhouses and jjimjilbangs.

Emergency bathrobes are necessary to prepare for cases where evacuation time is delayed due to the time taken to put on clothes when a fire occurs in bathhouses, jjimjilbangs, saunas, massage parlors, etc., which can lead to casualties from smoke inhalation.

The fire station emphasized that it is most important to habitually check emergency exits, entrances, and evacuation routes of buildings frequently visited and to evacuate quickly in preparation for fire outbreaks.

Kim Gwan-ho, Director of the Prevention and Safety Division, said, "Saunas, bathhouses, and other facilities used by unspecified many people are enclosed spaces, so rapid evacuation is paramount," and added, "We request the provision of emergency bathrobes for use by customers in emergencies."
