Last year, Jeonnam Fire Department provided experiential education for residents on ▲ emergency treatment methods such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) ▲ use of fire extinguishers and indoor fire hydrants ▲ use of evacuation facilities such as escape devices and lightweight partitions ▲ fire evacuation methods.

The education targeted 47,016 young children, 46,403 elementary school students, 28,924 middle and high school students, 85,188 adults, and 14,256 elderly people.

This year, since Jeonnam Province has the highest proportion of elderly and disabled people nationwide, fire safety education for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and disabled will be further strengthened.

Additionally, the quality of visiting safety education will be improved by reinforcing the mobile safety experience vehicle equipped with disaster response VR experiences and fire extinguisher and CPR simulation programs.

Ma Jaeyoon, Chief of the Jeonnam Provincial Fire Department, said, “Continuous safety education and learning are necessary to respond to increasingly complex and diverse disasters,” and added, “We will do our best to establish a safety culture through education to make Jeollanam-do a safe and happy place for residents.”
