Gwangju Fire Department, On-Site Inspection of Safety Management at Water Play Areas

On the 1st, the Gwangju Fire Safety Headquarters conducted an on-site inspection around the Imgokgyo area in Gwangsan-gu to prevent safety accidents at local water play sites.

This inspection was carried out to strengthen safety management at local water play sites, which have seen an increase in visitors due to the recent consecutive heatwaves and the summer vacation season.

Since July, the Gwangju Fire Safety Headquarters has deployed the 119 Citizen Water Rescue Team, composed of volunteer firefighters, to five major water play sites including Imgokgyo and Gwangjucheon, focusing on surveillance activities, safety accident prevention education, and efforts to prevent water-related accidents and ensure safety management.

On this day, Kim Mun-yong, the head of the Fire Safety Headquarters, inspected the duty and safety management status of the Citizen Water Rescue Team deployed on site, urging the strengthening of patrol activities on foot around the waterfront and the management of control lines in hazardous areas. He especially emphasized ensuring the safety of the rescue team members by organizing them in pairs and wearing life jackets.

Kim Mun-yong, head of the Gwangju Fire Safety Headquarters, stated, “Through the operation of the 119 Citizen Water Rescue Team, we will create a safe water play environment so that citizens can enjoy themselves with peace of mind.”
