Jeonbuk Fire Department Rolls Up Sleeves to Create a Safe Environment for Youth

Safety Measures for Multi-Use Facilities Such as PC Bangs and Manhwa Cafes 추진

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonbuk Fire Department is taking steps to create a safe environment for youth.

Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters (Chief Choi Mincheol) announced on the 16th that it will implement fire safety measures targeting 466 youth facilities expected to see an increase in youth visitors during the winter vacation.

The target includes 466 multi-use establishments frequently visited by youth and children, such as PC bangs, comic cafes, and escape room cafes.

These measures were prepared to create a fire prevention environment considering the characteristics of winter and to carry out focused prevention activities.

The main initiatives include ▲ on-site administration by fire station chiefs ▲ surprise fire safety inspections ▲ outreach safety education for children alone ▲ fire prevention publicity to raise safety awareness among youth and children ▲ pre-removal of fire risk factors.

In particular, for 34 major locations, fire safety inspection teams from 13 fire stations will conduct fire safety inspections to check compliance with multi-use establishment safety management standards and safety education, verify whether emergency exits are blocked, and confirm if any internal structural changes hinder evacuation.

Choi Mincheol, Chief of Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters, said, “We will do our best to promote fire safety measures so that youth can use and enjoy facilities safely.”
