Suwon South Fire Station Promotes Fire Prevention Safety Rules for Vulnerable Housing Facilities such as Goshiwon Villages

The Suwon South Fire Station in Gyeonggi Province has launched a campaign to promote fire prevention safety rules for vulnerable housing facilities, such as goshiwon villages, flophouses, and old residential buildings that are particularly susceptible to fire.

This campaign was organized to encourage residents of vulnerable housing facilities—which are at higher risk of fire due to cramped spaces and outdated electrical installations—to practice safety rules themselves in order to prevent casualties.

The main safety rules being promoted include: ▲Do not use multi-outlet extension cords in a daisy chain configuration ▲Be cautious about using electric blankets and heaters for extended periods ▲Always check that the intermediate gas valve is closed after using gas ▲Do not store items in emergency exits or hallways ▲Do not discard cigarette butts carelessly ▲Unplug electrical appliances before leaving home or going to bed.

Park Jeonghun, Chief of the Suwon South Fire Station, said, "Even minor carelessness in vulnerable housing facilities such as goshiwon villages can lead to significant damage, so fire prevention and initial response are more important than anything else," adding, "We strongly urge every household to install residential fire safety equipment such as extinguishers and standalone alarm detectors."
