The inspection will check ▲ the installation status of heating devices ▲ the presence of fire extinguishers ▲ the level of hygiene management to ensure the safety of citizens using public hygiene facilities. Minor issues found during the inspection will be addressed immediately on-site, while serious matters will be continuously monitored for supplementation and improvement.

Previously, the city conducted joint inspections with related agencies targeting lodging establishments, bathhouses, and nursing hospitals. Along with the Iksan Fire Station, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, and Korea Gas Safety Corporation, they checked ▲ fire prevention equipment ▲ safety of electrical and gas facilities ▲ compliance with disaster response manuals.

Chae Suhun, head of the Hygiene Division, said, “Winter poses a high fire risk due to increased use of heating devices and dry weather.
