Gyeonggi Province and Pyeongtaek City Hold Joint 'Safety Inspection Day' Event

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] On the 5th, Pyeongtaek City held the '296th Safety Inspection Day Event' jointly with Gyeonggi Province, Pyeongtaek City, and Pyeongtaek City Safety Monitor Volunteer Corps in the area around Pyeongtaek Station.

The event delivered winter fire prevention action guidelines and safety inspection checklists to citizens using Pyeongtaek Station and nearby shop owners, promoting awareness so that households and workplaces can independently check for fire hazards and respond quickly in case of fire.

In addition, the event provided information on COVID-19 prevention guidelines and windstorm and flood insurance, distributing promotional leaflets, masks, and liquid soap.

A city official stated, "Ahead of the full onset of winter, we hope to guide citizens on fire prevention rules and response measures that can be practiced in daily life to protect the lives and property of residents," and added, "As the weather grows colder, we request the active interest and cooperation of all citizens in the safe use of heating appliances, fire extinguisher usage methods, and fire safety rules."

Going forward, Pyeongtaek City and Pyeongtaek City Safety Monitor Volunteer Corps plan to continue jointly conducting 'Safety Inspection Day' events and actively promote mask-wearing and quarantine guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as well as winter fire prevention measures.
