Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Urges Safety Facilities in Lodging Businesses During Winter

On the 4th, Gwangju Seobu Fire Station urged the expansion of fire and gas safety facilities in lodging facilities such as pensions, recreational forests, and campgrounds.

In recreational facilities like pensions and campgrounds, insufficient safety inspections can lead to large-scale casualties in the event of a fire.

Old communal exhaust ducts installed in lodging businesses and apartment complexes may allow exhaust gases to enter indoors through wall cracks, potentially causing casualties due to poisoning.

The main inspection items include ▲ installing standalone smoke detectors and fire extinguishers (at least one) in each compartment ▲ installing carbon monoxide alarms around boiler rooms (within 0.3m from the ceiling) ▲ opening ventilation and air supply vents and inspecting exhaust pipes and chimneys ▲ installing combustible gas detectors near gas combustion appliances ▲ verifying fire-retardant performance inspection products such as wallpaper and curtains in guest rooms.

Kim Hee-cheol, head of Seobu Fire Station, stated, “To prevent casualties caused by fires and carbon monoxide poisoning due to improper use of heating devices in winter, we ask lodging business operators to properly install and inspect fire safety facilities.”
