Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Urges Expansion of Safety Facilities in Lodging Establishments

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Southern Fire Station announced on the 25th that it urges the expansion of fire and gas-related safety facilities in lodging establishments.

Winter is a season with dry weather and a sharp increase in the use of heating appliances, making the risk of fire very high.

In particular, if safety facilities are insufficient in places where an unspecified number of people enter, such as campsites, a fire can lead to large-scale casualties.

Carbon monoxide poisoning accidents continue to occur during the use of gas heaters, so special caution is required not only from lodging facility managers but also from users.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the installation of ▲ standalone alarm-type detectors and fire extinguishers in each compartment ▲ carbon monoxide detectors around boiler rooms ▲ combustible gas detectors around gas combustion appliances.

Kim Haeng-mo, head of the Prevention and Safety Division, said, “To prevent safety accidents in lodging facilities used by an unspecified number of people, it is necessary to expand the installation of safety facilities such as carbon monoxide detectors,” and added, “We hope for the installation of safety-related facilities and compliance with safety rules for the safe and enjoyable use by customers.”
