Sejong Fire Headquarters to Conduct Fire Safety Inspections at Welfare Facilities for the Elderly and Disabled
Aiming to Identify Risk Factors
and Ensure Facility Safety
The Geumhwa Patrol Team of the Sejong Fire Headquarters will conduct fire safety inspections at welfare facilities for the elderly and people with disabilities, where there is a high risk of casualties in the event of a fire.
The inspections, which will run until November 20, aim to review fire and safety measures at local nursing homes, day care centers, and residential facilities for people with disabilities. The main inspection items include the structure of buildings, electrical and gas installations, and the overall safety infrastructure such as evacuation and fire prevention facilities.
In particular, the team will check whether sufficient time for evacuation and rescue can be secured in case of a fire. They will also provide on-site safety guidance and fire prevention education to facility staff, thoroughly identify risk factors and issues within the facilities, and, if necessary, establish safety measures and conduct fire safety investigations as part of preventive efforts.
