Gyeonggi Fire Department Hosts Various Events Including Poster Contest for November 'Fire Prevention Awareness Month'

Last Year's Fire Safety Awareness Month Poster Exhibition

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters will operate the Fire Prevention Emphasis Month throughout November to create a fire prevention environment that resonates with and communicates with residents.

This year, the Fire and Disaster Headquarters will focus on three main strategies: ▲ spreading a fire safety culture involving residents ▲ fostering a fire prevention atmosphere that residents empathize with ▲ conducting customized fire safety education for residents.

First, to spread a fire safety culture involving residents, a "Children's Fire Prevention Poster Contest" will be held for elementary school students in the province.

Each fire station will conduct its own evaluation and submit one outstanding work to the headquarters, where the final winners will be selected by the National Fire Agency.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters will also hold, for the first time nationwide, a poster contest involving multicultural and special school (disabled) children titled "Connecting Safety for Everyone, Together, and All."

Additionally, banners and posters emphasizing the Fire Prevention Emphasis Month will be displayed at fire stations, public offices, and multi-use facilities throughout the province, along with posters of this year’s fire safety contest winners.

Furthermore, for the first time nationwide, a promotional video for foreigner fire safety education will be produced and distributed.

In particular, fire safety education will be conducted at least twice at each fire station targeting fire safety vulnerable groups such as the disabled, elderly, and multicultural families. Safety education campaigns and events will also be held together with the 119 Youth Corps.

Meanwhile, since 1948, the government has designated November as Fire Prevention Emphasis Month every year to foster a nationwide fire prevention atmosphere. This year marks the 76th anniversary.
