Gwangju Bukbu Fire Station "Beware of Winter Construction Site Fires"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Northern Fire Station announced on the 28th a warning to be cautious of fires caused by welding and sparks that can occur at construction sites and building sites during the winter season.

Construction sites and building sites store a large amount of combustible materials, making the possibility of fire high due to flame work such as welding and cutting operations and the handling of heating devices for winter heating, requiring thorough caution from those involved.

To prevent fires, the following must be observed: ▲ installation of temporary firefighting facilities such as fire extinguishers at construction and building sites ▲ recommendation to assign fire watchers at construction and building sites ▲ removal of combustible materials and safety measures where welding and cutting sparks may land ▲ wearing protective gear such as safety helmets and heat-resistant gloves ▲ conducting firefighting safety education for workers.

Kim Gwan-ho, Head of the Prevention and Safety Division, said, “Ignition sources such as welding and sparks at construction and building sites during winter are major causes of fire,” and added, “We hope that through continuous education, safety rules will be strictly followed to do our best in fire prevention.”
