The Gwangsan Fire Station in Gwangju Metropolitan City urged the safe use of heating appliances during the winter season.

On the 20th, the Gwangsan Fire Station stated, "The three most commonly used heating appliances in winter?electric mats, electric heaters, and electric heating wires?can cause fires even with very minor negligence," and emphasized, "Since this can lead to loss of life and property damage, safety rules must be followed when using them."
