Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Minimizes Fire Damage with Standalone Alarm Detectors

Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station announced on the 14th that the operation of a standalone smoke detector helped minimize damage from a house fire.

According to the fire department, a fire broke out around 2 p.m. the previous day at a multi-family house in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

At the time, a foreign tenant resting in the house heard the smoke detector alarm and immediately evacuated outside. The tenant called the homeowner to inform them of the fire, and the fire was extinguished by the responding firefighters.

Household items and food were burned, but there were no major casualties or significant damage.

A fire official stated, “Fire extinguishers and standalone smoke detectors, which are residential fire safety devices, enable quick fire alerts and initial fire suppression attempts in case of a fire,” and urged, “Please install residential fire safety devices in each household, including multi-family houses.”
