[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) is focusing on training disaster experts while adhering to guidelines such as phased social distancing despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19.

With the goal of "firefighting strong on the field" and "firefighting that protects the safety and happiness of the people even more," they are promoting substantial education and training.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 24th, the Jeonnam Fire Academy has successfully conducted fire education and training for a total of 3,353 people, including 233 new appointees planned for this year and about 1,700 professionals currently in service.

In particular, in response to the escalation of COVID-19 stages, they quickly established non-face-to-face classrooms to conduct remote education, converted non-residential courses into residential ones, and set up quarantine systems such as controlling external access.

Based on this, they conducted substantial education such as core value cultivation education for fire organization by rank, life safety rescue including beehive removal, and real fire response training. Currently, 159 new appointees are undergoing training.

Park Euisung, the head of the Fire Academy, said, "All faculty and staff prioritize COVID-19 quarantine compliance and trainee safety management," and added, "We did our best in 2020 education and training with the educational goal that disaster response expert training must not be interrupted."
