This special alert duty is to prepare for the increased risk of fire due to negligence in safety management during the Chuseok holiday period and the rise in safety accidents at crowded places such as stations and terminals. All staff will switch to an emergency response system to establish an initial response posture for fire prevention and various disaster situations.

Safety management will be strengthened by inspecting fire safety facilities in fire-prone areas such as traditional markets and multi-use facilities. Emergency transport services will be enhanced to prepare for safety accidents during the holiday, and active safety services will be provided in response to civil complaints.

In addition, to prepare for any accidents, the response posture will be reinforced by establishing an emergency contact system to enable rapid joint response with related agencies such as the police, electricity, and gas.

Kim Kwang-seon, Chief of Jindo Fire Station, said, “Since most fires and safety accidents occur at home, we ask for special attention to safety even during the holiday period, and we will do our best to ensure that all residents have a comfortable and safe holiday.”
