Gwangyang Fire Station Deploys Aerial Ladder Truck for Life Rescue at Fire Scene

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 16th, Jeonnam Gwangyang Fire Station announced that on the morning of the 14th at 9:41 AM, they used an aerial ladder truck to conduct a rescue at the scene of a fire that occurred in a five-story villa building located in Gwangyeong-dong, Gwangyang-si.

The fire broke out in a one-room apartment on the 5th floor, and when the firefighters who responded to the report arrived at the scene, black smoke was billowing out of the window.

In another unit on the 5th floor, slightly away from the ignition point, a citizen who was late to recognize the fire and could not evacuate sent a rescue signal through the window. Upon confirming this, the fire team immediately deployed the aerial ladder truck and carried out a rescue, successfully extinguishing the fire without any casualties.

The fact that a precious life was saved that day was a moment when the regular training on deploying the aerial ladder truck and various rescue drills for swift and effective rescue shone through.

Song Taehyun, chief of Gwangyang Fire Station, stated, “We have done and will continue to do our best to protect the lives and property of citizens. We urge citizens to prioritize evacuation immediately upon recognizing a fire, secure their safety, and then report to the fire station to prevent any casualties.”
