On September 17, the Ansan Fire Department conducted joint safety inspections at an apartment complex in Ansan to prevent fire and electrical accidents ahead of the Chuseok holiday.
According to the fire department, the inspections took place at the Gunja Jugong 13 Complex, in collaboration with Ansan City, the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation's Ansan-Siheung and Anyang branches, and the Housing Management Corporation, targeting vulnerable households.
The initiative included checks on residential fire safety equipment and electrical facilities within the complex.
Old or faulty outlets were replaced on-site, and the condition of fire extinguishers and smoke detectors was verified.
The fire department also informed residents about registering for the 119 emergency call service and provided guidelines on fire prevention measures and evacuation procedures during the Chuseok holiday.
The Korea Electrical Safety Corporation inspected the electrical facilities in each household, while Ansan City provided heatwave prevention supplies to vulnerable residents.
Some residents expressed appreciation for the opportunity to check electrical and fire safety equipment that they typically find difficult to inspect. They emphasized the importance of such safety checks.
In particular, elderly residents found the explanations on evacuation procedures and emergency response methods helpful.
Hwang Eun-hwa, a member of the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly, also attended the event to greet residents for the Chuseok holiday.
Meanwhile, Fire Chief Ko Young-joo stated, "We have combined our expertise with related agencies to provide essential safety services to residents. We will continue to collaborate to ensure a safe living environment for vulnerable households."
