Suwon Nambu Fire Station "All Vehicles with 5 or More Passengers Must Carry Fire Extinguishers"

The Suwon Southern Fire Station in Gyeonggi Province has launched a campaign to promote the mandatory installation of fire extinguishers in passenger cars with five or more seats.

On the 19th, the Suwon Southern Fire Station announced that starting December 1, all vehicles, including passenger cars with five or more seats, will be required to carry a vehicle fire extinguisher. They plan to actively promote this through their website, Instagram, various media outlets, and Band.

Under the current Fire Facilities Installation and Management Act, vehicles with seven or more seats are required to carry fire extinguishers. However, this requirement will be expanded to include passenger cars with five or more seats starting December 1.

Go Young-ju, chief of the Suwon Southern Fire Station, stated, "If all vehicles carry a vehicle fire extinguisher, it can protect not only my safety but also the safety of those around me," adding, "Having a vehicle fire extinguisher is very helpful in the early suppression of fires and reducing casualties."

Meanwhile, it is advised to purchase vehicle fire extinguishers that are approved and labeled for automotive use, and for passenger cars, the extinguisher should be placed within the driver's reach.
