Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Provides Guidance to Traditional Temples Ahead of Buddha's Birthday

Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station announced on the 17th that it conducted a guidance visit to Geumseonsa Temple located in Sochon-dong ahead of Buddha's Birthday.

This traditional temple guidance visit was arranged to ensure fire safety in anticipation of a surge in temple visitors on Buddha's Birthday and the increased fire risk due to the use of lanterns and candles.

The main points include ▲ thorough securing of fire truck access routes ▲ caution in handling fire when installing and using lanterns ▲ checking the maintenance status of fire safety facilities ▲ listening to matters related to the preservation and safety management of traditional temples.

Kim Young-il, head of Gwangsan Fire Station, said, “Most traditional temples are wooden structures vulnerable to fire,” and added, “Special attention from temple officials and citizens is necessary to prevent fires caused by lantern displays and candle use.”
