Language Discrimination in Fire Extinguishing? ... Sticker Showing Fire Hydrant Usage in 6 Languages Released
Ulsan Dongbu Fire Station and Hyundai Heavy Industries Distribute to Foreign Resident Areas
English, Sri Lankan, Vietnamese, Thai, and Uzbek Languages Included
There should be no language discrimination when putting out fires! Fire hydrants displaying foreign languages alongside Korean and English are being introduced.
Ulsan Dongbu Fire Station (Chief Park Jung-gyu) announced on the 8th that since March, they have been producing and distributing 5,000 indoor fire hydrant usage instruction stickers with both Korean and foreign languages displayed simultaneously.
With the establishment of Article 7, Paragraph 5 of the Fire Safety Standards for Indoor Fire Hydrant Equipment (NFSC 102) on March 4 last year, usage instructions for indoor fire hydrants must include foreign languages and illustrations. However, due to the lack of specific regulations regarding foreign languages, most instructions were only displayed in English.
