YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - Installation Management Command-Korea commander Brig. Gen. John Uberti and his senior noncommissioned officer, Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Witt made a public service announcement March 4 that will air on the American Forces Network-Korea to spread the word about fire safety.

"The purpose of today's public service announcement is to increase community awareness, "Uberti said before the shoot. " We've had several structure fires on Army installations across the peninsula and by sheer luck we haven't lost any lives, but there's been a significant loss of property and damage to equipment."

The segment took stage at a badly damaged local family house to build awareness of the damage that can occur in a fire and emphasize fire safety.

"We just want to make sure that people are doing the things that they need to do to ensure that their environments are safe - Not overloading electrical outlets, making sure meals at home aren't unattended on the stove and making sure we properly extinguish candles when they're not being used."

There have been four fires in the past three months throughout installations across the region and the shoot was at one of the actual sites. A mach scenario was used for the PSA but the situation was real.

"It's very important that we get the word out about fire safety," Witt said. "We've had a rash of fires and we have really got to get the word out."

IMCOM-Korea is responsible for structures across the peninsula and Uberti said fire safety is a key concern. "This includes Soldiers' barracks, Army family housing, all of the office buildings that people work in - So again, we need everybody's help to ensure that the places they live and work in are safe."
