Kim Jaebyung, Head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, visited an apartment in Bundang-gu, Seongnam City on the 13th where sprinklers had not been installed, to inspect fire safety conditions in multi-family housing.
On site, Kim Jaebyung personally checked the operational status of fire safety facilities, rooftop door management, and maintenance of evacuation guidance signs, and requested immediate improvements for certain facilities.
The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters plans to use this inspection as a starting point to expand the installation of sprinklers in aging multi-family housing across the province and to strengthen resident-participation training programs.
