Masan Fish Market Volunteer Fire Brigade ... Leading Fire Prevention Centered on the Merchants' Association

Masan Fire Station Holds Autonomous Fire Brigade Inauguration Ceremony

On the 18th, the Masan Fire Station of Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, announced that it held a voluntary fire brigade inauguration ceremony centered on the merchants' association.

This inauguration ceremony was organized to strengthen fire prevention centered on the merchants' association and to establish a public-private cooperative fire response strategy system for the fish market.

The Masan Fish Market Merchants Association held a launch ceremony for the volunteer fire brigade.

Additionally, the arcade connecting the fish market as a single zone is a temporary structure, and under the Fire Services Act, there is no obligation to organize a self-defense fire brigade. This initiative aims to form and maintain a voluntary fire brigade in response to the increase in large-scale fires in traditional markets due to inadequate initial response systems during fire outbreaks.

The main initiatives include ▲ virtual fire dispatch training for the first response team through fire alarm system operation tests ▲ appointment of voluntary fire brigade captains and oath-taking of the declaration ▲ guidance and education on fire facilities in the fish market ▲ conducting fire prevention campaigns in traditional markets ▲ and training on the use of emergency fire extinguishing devices and initial firefighting techniques.

Lee Sang-seop, Director of the Safety Prevention Division, said, “I hope this inauguration ceremony served as an opportunity for the voluntary fire brigade members to become more vigilant about fire safety.”
