[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] How do you extinguish fires in buildings over 30 floors?

The Ulsan Fire Headquarters (Chief Eom Jun-wook) has published a booklet titled "High-Rise Building Fire Response Manual" for systematic response to high-rise building fires.

The booklet contains information on the structural characteristics of 33 high-rise buildings over 30 floors in the Ulsan area, the missions of each dispatch team, utilization plans for firefighting facilities, and procedures for on-site response operations.

To publish the booklet, the Fire Headquarters formed a dedicated team starting November last year and conducted about four months of practical verification, including on-site inspections of high-rise buildings, data investigation, and local adaptation training.

Additionally, through target-specific local adaptation training, possible deployment locations for vehicles such as aerial ladder trucks were marked on the suppression operation map to enable rapid on-site response.

Firefighting facility information necessary for fire suppression was indicated using pictograms (symbolic graphic characters representing objects or actions) so that any firefighter can recognize it at a glance, differentiating it from other similar manuals.

A Fire Headquarters official said, "We will distribute the manual booklet to fire stations in the Ulsan area and fire headquarters nationwide to actively utilize it as basic data for tactical training and on-site activities in preparation for high-rise building fires."
