Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station Holds Ontact Nursing Hospital Meeting

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] On the 24th, Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station announced that it held an Ontact meeting on the 23rd, presided over by the head of the station, with nursing hospitals vulnerable to large-scale fires.

The meeting was held as a non-face-to-face meeting through an online video conferencing app in a situation where face-to-face events were impossible due to COVID-19. It was prepared to achieve zero casualties in the event of a fire through discussions on evacuation measures with nursing hospital officials (hospital directors, fire safety managers).

The meeting mainly covered ▲discussion of evacuation guidance measures tailored to each target's circumstances ▲sharing of recent revised laws and pointed cases ▲sharing of excellent fire prevention cases ▲discussion on creating communication channels using SNS ▲listening to suggestions and difficulties.

Choi Jeong-sik, head of Dongbu Fire Station, said, “Since large-scale fire-vulnerable targets have a high possibility of causing many casualties and property damage if not responded to promptly at the initial stage of a fire, I ask you to pay attention to fire facilities and safety management.” He added, “For the safety of citizens, let us carefully observe and improve even the smallest details.”
