Gwangju Seobu Fire Station, On-site Guidance at Vote Counting Centers Ahead of General Election

On the 9th, the Western Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City visited Bitgoeul Gymnasium, the local counting center, to conduct on-site guidance and inspections for fire prevention in preparation for the 22nd National Assembly election.

This inspection was arranged to prevent various safety accidents, including fires, through prior on-site guidance to ensure the 22nd National Assembly election proceeds smoothly without any safety incidents.

Kim Hee-cheol, head of the Western Fire Station, listened to the status of Bitgoeul Gymnasium, the counting center, urged the maintenance of normal operation of fire-fighting facilities and prohibition of blocking evacuation and fire prevention facilities, and provided fire safety consulting including safety management instructions in preparation for unexpected situations during vote counting.

Kim said, “Since voting and counting facilities attract large crowds, there is a high risk of safety accidents,” and added, “We will do our utmost in fire-fighting activities such as preventive patrols at polling stations and forward deployment of fire-fighting forces at counting centers to ensure citizens can safely cast their precious votes.”
