Thorough Safety Inspections and Preventive Measures Are Crucial
On November 11, Gumi Fire Station in North Gyeongsang Province (headed by Cho Yoohyun) announced that it is actively encouraging the installation of fire extinguishing equipment for small spaces to prevent fires that may occur in confined areas where electrical equipment is concentrated.
Fire extinguishing equipment for small spaces is an automatic simple fire extinguishing device that is installed in confined areas such as distribution panels, switchboards, and outlets where there are no people present or where management is difficult. It automatically activates when it detects heat above a certain temperature, suppressing fires in the early stages. Depending on the size and structure of the space, it is classified into patch-type (or pad-type), container-type, and rope-type.

With the recent increase in the use of electrical appliances, the number of fires caused by electrical factors has been rising. In response, Gumi Fire Station is promoting the installation of fire extinguishing equipment for small spaces, especially in areas densely packed with electrical equipment, and is strengthening public awareness campaigns to prevent fires in confined and enclosed electrical spaces where initial response is difficult.
Cho Yoohyun, Chief of Gumi Fire Station, stated, "If an electrical fire occurs in a confined space and the initial response is delayed, it can lead to significant damage. The smaller the space, the more important thorough safety inspections and preventive measures become. We ask all citizens to actively participate in installing fire extinguishing equipment for small spaces."
