This promotion was prepared to raise awareness of the importance of residential fire safety equipment and vehicle fire extinguishers and to spread a culture of safety by gifting them to beloved family members and neighbors.


Residential fire safety equipment must be installed mandatorily in all homes according to the Fire Safety Equipment Installation and Management Act, and can be purchased at online shopping malls, large supermarkets, and other outlets. Additionally, vehicle fire extinguishers will be required to be installed in all vehicles with five or more seats, expanding from the current requirement for vehicles with seven or more seats, according to the revised Fire Safety Equipment Installation and Management Act, which will be enforced from December 1 next year.


Accordingly, the Seobu Fire Station plans to conduct a campaign encouraging people to gift residential fire safety equipment and vehicle fire extinguishers when visiting their hometowns during the upcoming Chuseok holiday, conveying warm feelings to family and acquaintances while simultaneously preventing fires.


Furthermore, promotional banners will be installed at multi-use facilities expected to be frequented by many people during the Chuseok holiday period, and promotional videos will be broadcast on major electronic billboards within the jurisdiction.



A fire official stated, "We hope this Chuseok will be a holiday where people can protect their families' safety from fires by gifting residential fire safety equipment and vehicle fire extinguishers to their beloved family and neighbors."
