[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Department is sweating through rescue training in preparation for summer water accidents.

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 18th that it conducted life-saving rescue training using a fire helicopter at Seongyang Reservoir in Gunseo-myeon, Yeongam-gun, over two days starting from the 16th.
