Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) is undertaking a large-scale overhaul of emergency fire extinguishing facilities in residential areas to create a safer environment against fires.


Emergency fire extinguishing facilities are equipment designed for rapid initial fire suppression in densely populated residential areas where narrow road widths make it difficult for fire trucks to access. Seongdong-gu plans to replace old or damaged equipment installed long ago with new models that have improved performance.


Earlier, Seongdong-gu conducted a comprehensive inspection in the first half of the year to assess the aging and damage levels of existing emergency fire extinguishing facilities and finalized the replacement targets. The district will then simultaneously refurbish 50 visible fire extinguishers and 2 emergency fire extinguishing devices that were previously installed.


Emergency fire extinguishing devices consist of fire hydrants, fire hoses, nozzles, and control valves, and are fire safety facilities that anyone can use before the arrival of fire trucks. After completing the maintenance of fire extinguishing facilities in residential areas, Seongdong-gu plans to conduct continuous inspections together with the Seongdong Fire Station to further strengthen the district’s fire prevention capabilities.



Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, “Only proactive prevention efforts, even to the point of being excessive, can protect the lives and property of residents when it comes to safety,” and added, “We will spare no support in making Seongdong-gu a fire worry-free district.”
