Changnyeong Fire Station: "Give Fire Safety Equipment as Gifts During Seol Holiday"

Promotion of Gifting Residential Firefighting Equipment and Automatic Diffusion Fire Extinguishers

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] The Changnyeong Fire Station in Gyeongnam is intensively promoting ‘Gifting Residential Fire Safety Equipment and Automatic Diffusion Fire Extinguishers to Hometown Houses for the Lunar New Year Holiday,’ ahead of the traditional Korean holiday, Seol.

Residential fire safety equipment refers to fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors, which must be mandatorily installed in single-family, row, and multi-family houses according to the ‘Fire Safety Facilities Act.’ At least one fire extinguisher should be placed per household and floor, and one standalone smoke detector should be installed in each compartmented room such as bedrooms and living rooms.

Automatic diffusion fire extinguishers are installed on the ceilings of boiler rooms, drying rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other areas with a high risk of fire. When the temperature exceeds 72℃, they automatically spray extinguishing agents to suppress the fire.

This promotion aims to encourage people to gift residential fire safety equipment and automatic diffusion fire extinguishers when visiting their hometowns during the holiday period, conveying a sense of safety. Accordingly, the fire station will promote this through crowded public facilities, lifestyle-related media, and press publicity.

Fire Chief Kim Hwasik said, “Residential fire safety equipment and automatic diffusion fire extinguishers are effective in early fire suppression. We hope everyone gifts these to their hometown houses for a safe and happy Lunar New Year holiday.”
