On the 10th, the Gwangju Northern Fire Station announced a request to provide emergency bathrobes that can be quickly worn for evacuation in case of emergencies at bathhouses, saunas, and jjimjilbangs.
An "emergency bathrobe" is clothing prepared to be quickly worn and used for evacuation in saunas, bathhouses, jjimjilbangs, and the like, which can greatly help secure the golden time for human evacuation.
When a fire occurs at a bathhouse, people may lose the golden time for evacuation while trying to put on their clothes, potentially leading to casualties. Therefore, it is necessary to provide emergency escape bathrobes to create an environment focused on rapid evacuation.
A fire official stated, "Quick evacuation in enclosed spaces such as saunas, sleeping rooms, and massage parlors is very important," and added, "We ask for cooperation in securing the golden time for human evacuation by providing emergency bathrobes."
