Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Conducts Joint Inspection Targeting Traditional Markets

Gwangju Seobu Fire Station announced on the 8th that it conducted a joint safety inspection of facilities to prevent safety accidents such as fires in traditional markets in cooperation with related organizations.

The safety inspection was jointly conducted by the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, and Seobu Fire Station. The inspection targets were selected considering areas around Yangdong Market with a history of fire incidents or facility aging.

The main inspection items included ▲whether there were defects in major structural parts ▲whether electrical facilities such as leakage circuit breakers were operating normally ▲whether gas shut-off valves and alarms were functioning properly ▲the condition of fire-fighting facilities ▲and maintenance of fire compartments, covering the overall status of safety management.

Any deficiencies found during the inspection were immediately corrected on site, and those that could not be corrected immediately were to be supplemented by the management entity as soon as possible. Continuous management will be maintained until all risk factors are resolved.

A fire official stated, "Traditional markets have densely packed stores and are used by an unspecified large number of people, so there is a great concern about significant damage in the event of a disaster," adding, "We will do our best to prevent human and property damage by firmly establishing a cooperative system with related organizations."
