Since 2017, the provincial fire headquarters has held the nation's first poster contest to raise awareness and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning accidents, which caused 17 deaths and 28 injuries nationwide from 2017 to 2021.



Jo In-jae, the head of the fire headquarters, said, “To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning accidents, please regularly inspect and check the boiler exhaust pipe connections. When using charcoal, ethanol stoves, or butane gas indoors, regular ventilation and installing carbon monoxide detectors are truly important.”
