[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) announced on the 18th that it conducted a ‘Traditional Market Fire Lane Securing Drill’ on the 17th to spread public consensus on yielding to fire trucks and to secure the golden time at disaster sites.

The Gwangsan Fire Station conducts fire lane securing drills every month to promote citizens’ awareness of yielding to fire trucks and ambulances and to ensure the rapid entry of fire trucks and ambulances to the scene in case of fire or other disaster situations.

On this day, the drill involved 15 firefighters and 5 fire trucks, promoting the importance of securing fire lanes in areas around Gwangju Songjeong Station, Songjeong Daily Market, Songjeong 5-Day Market, and 1913 Songjeong Station Market, where fire truck access is difficult during emergencies.
