Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Operates Illegal Activity Inspection and Reward Reporting System

Gwangju Seobu Fire Station announced on the 19th that it will operate a year-round reward system for reporting illegal activities such as emergency exit closures to eradicate such violations.

The 'Illegal Activity Reporting Reward System' is designed to minimize casualties caused by fires by eradicating illegal activities directly related to safety through voluntary public reporting and establishing a safety culture. Any citizen of Gwangju can report violations.

The reporting targets include multi-use facilities, cultural and assembly facilities, sales facilities, lodging facilities, and complex buildings, specifically ▲closure or locking of fire safety facilities ▲placing objects in corridors, stairs, or evacuation routes ▲closure or damage to evacuation fire prevention facilities.

To report, submit a report form with supporting evidence by visiting the local fire station or via mail, fax, or information communication networks. The submitted reports will be verified on-site and reviewed for rewards; if confirmed as violations, the reporter will receive a reward, and the responsible parties for the illegal activities will be fined.

A fire official stated, “If the emergency exit, the door to life, is damaged or objects are piled in front of it, it can become a door to death,” and added, “We ask for the public’s interest and cooperation to ensure voluntary safety management.”
