The Uiwang Fire Department on September 16 raised awareness about home fire prevention and the importance of installing fire safety equipment ahead of the Chuseok holiday.
According to the fire department, a campaign promoting the installation of home fire safety equipment was conducted at Uiwang Dokkebi Market, involving firefighters and volunteer firefighters.
This campaign was organized to increase public interest in fire prevention and to inform citizens about safety regulations as the holiday approaches.
Since September 9, the fire department has been intensively promoting fire prevention and safety regulations through various media and on-site activities for three weeks.
At the event, visitors to the market were informed about the installation of home fire safety equipment and the fire insurance program for vulnerable households in Gyeonggi Province.
Home fire safety equipment helps detect smoke or fire in the early stages, aiding in reducing fire damage within homes.
Alongside the campaign, a clean-up activity was also conducted around the market.
Participants collected litter in the area, contributing to a clean and safe market environment.
Market visitors expressed a renewed awareness of the need for safety management in their daily lives as they learned about fire prevention regulations and home fire safety equipment ahead of the holiday.
In particular, the initiative provided an opportunity to directly convey safety information to citizens visiting the traditional market, increasing their interest in fire prevention.
Fire Chief Lee Jeong-yong stated, “Home fire safety equipment plays a crucial role in protecting lives and property in the event of a fire. I hope citizens will adhere to fire prevention regulations and celebrate the holiday safely.”
