Yeongju City Accepting Applications for "Certification Program for Apartment Complexes with Excellent Fire Truck Access"

Until November 11,
Promoting a Safe Residential Environment and Strengthening Fire Response Capabilities

Yeongju City in North Gyeongsang Province will be accepting applications for participation in the "2025 Certification Program for Apartment Complexes with Excellent Fire Truck Access" until November 11, targeting apartment complexes within the city that were completed more than 10 years ago.

The "Certification Program for Apartment Complexes with Excellent Fire Truck Access" is a system that comprehensively evaluates whether apartment complexes have secured access and operational space for fire trucks to facilitate rescue and firefighting efforts. Incentives are provided based on this evaluation. The program has been implemented since 2016 to promote a safe residential environment and raise public awareness among citizens.

The evaluation consists of 11 items across three categories: fire response conditions, fire prevention, and maintenance of firefighting facilities. Objective assessments are conducted through on-site inspections and unannounced nighttime checks.

Certified apartment complexes will receive a certification plaque. In addition, according to Yeongju City's ordinance on support subsidies for apartment management, these complexes will be given priority when applying for subsidies, and the maximum support limit will be increased to up to 80%.

Apartment complexes wishing to participate can apply by visiting the Safety and Disaster Division at Yeongju City Hall or by mail. Application forms can be downloaded from the "Notices & Announcements" section of the Yeongju City Hall website.

Kang Sinhyuk, head of the Safety and Disaster Division, stated, "Since apartment complexes are at high risk of large-scale damage in the event of a fire, I hope everyone will actively participate in securing fire truck access to help protect the lives and property of our citizens."
