Jeonnam Fire Department Enables Efficient Situation Management and Response During Disasters

Provincial City and County CCTV Network Linked for 119 Situation Room Access

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters has enhanced its ability to efficiently manage and respond to situations during disasters.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 8th, videos from CCTV control centers in eight cities and counties within the province can now be viewed at a glance in the 119 Integrated Situation Room located at the new Jangheung office.

This project, selected through a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport public contest, will begin sequential network integration starting with the selected cities and counties.

So far, CCTV from eight cities and counties (Mokpo, Yeosu, Suncheon, Naju, Yeongam, Gangjin, Hampyeong, Wando) has been linked to the 119 Integrated Situation Room. The plan is to connect all 22 cities and counties by 2023.

The linkage of local government smart CCTV networks allows for unified viewing of city and county CCTV footage by integrating with the Geographic Information Service (GIS) of the Emergency Rescue Standard System operated by the 119 Integrated Situation Room.

In particular, during disasters, the locations and video information of five CCTV cameras near the disaster site are automatically displayed on the situation control map, enabling a comprehensive view of the disaster scene and facilitating faster response.

Additionally, the situation room transmits various collected information such as traffic conditions at the disaster site, nearby firefighting water status, and the location of fire vehicles through the disaster video transmission system attached to fire trucks, delivering this information to the dispatched teams on site for quicker and more effective disaster response.

Ma Jaeyoon, head of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, stated, “The success of all disaster responses depends on the collection of information related to the incident,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure rapid response at disaster sites through extensive information gathering beyond just video and geographic data.”
