The Uiwang Fire Department on September 16 raised awareness about home fire prevention and the importance of fire safety equipment among citizens visiting traditional markets 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, with participation from firefighters and volunteer firefighters.
The campaign aimed to increase public interest in fire prevention and inform citizens about safety regulations as the holiday approaches.
Since September 9, the fire department has been actively promoting fire prevention and safety regulations through various media and on-site activities for three weeks.
At the market, visitors 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, reducing the risk of fire damage in homes.
Alongside the campaign, participants also engaged in community clean-up activities around the market.
They collected litter to contribute 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 frequenting traditional markets, 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 adhere to fire prevention regulations and enjoy a safe holiday during Chuseok."
