The initiative aims to reduce human and property damage and expand local safety infrastructure by distributing automatic fire-extinguishing multi-tap devices that can automatically extinguish electrical fires, targeting welfare facilities for the disabled, children, and the elderly, who have difficulty evacuating quickly during fires.

Accordingly, 100 automatic fire-extinguishing multi-taps for electrical fire prevention will be distributed to 14 facilities for the elderly and children, such as nursing homes and daycare centers located in Andeok-myeon, and safety education for related personnel, including training on early fire response and precautions when using electrical appliances, will also be conducted.

Chief Ko Jeong-bae said, “An analysis of the causes of 1,671 fires in the Jeju area over the past three years shows that electrical fires accounted for 516 cases (30%), a significant proportion. We expect that distributing automatic fire-extinguishing multi-taps will greatly help prevent electrical fires in facilities for the elderly and children and create a safer environment.”

Director Yang Da-mo stated, “We will contribute to making Jeju safer through continuous community-linked social contribution activities.”
