This surprise fire safety inspection is being conducted to eradicate the chronic practice of ignoring safety in anticipation of an increase in travelers due to the early heat wave and post-COVID-19 travel surge, aiming to reduce large-scale fires and casualties.

The inspection targets lodging facilities, retail facilities, performance venues, cinemas, and other places frequently used by an unspecified large number of people.

The main inspection items include △closure or locking of emergency exits △obstruction or placement of obstacles in evacuation stairs and passageways △checking the management status of fire doors and fire shutters △verifying the normal operation of fire-fighting facilities.

Kim Gwang-seon, Chief of Jindo Fire Station, said, “We will do our best to manage fire safety so that visitors to multi-use facilities can enjoy a pleasant and safe summer vacation,” and added, “We hope facility managers will take special interest in fire safety management and actively cooperate to prevent any violations.”
