Jeju Fire Station Conducts Real Fire Team Tactics Training for Basement Fire Preparedness

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Fire Station announced on the 31st that it conducted live fire team tactical training for all staff over six days starting from the 30th of last month in the basement of a sports facility located in Yonggang-dong, Jeju City.

This training was conducted in 27 separate teams in accordance with COVID-19 quarantine guidelines.

In the past two years, 26 basement fires have occurred within the jurisdiction of Jeju Fire Station, resulting in one injury and approximately 125 million KRW in property damage.

The training focused on life rescue, fire suppression, and smoke ventilation tactics in an environment similar to actual basement fires.

Specifically, fire points and smoke were created in the basement, and mannequins (training dummies) were placed to conduct life rescue, fire suppression, and smoke ventilation training through cooperation among firefighters.

Additionally, ladder-assisted life rescue and fire suppression training on the second floor were conducted simultaneously.

Kim Youngho, Chief of Jeju Fire Station, stated, “Basement fires pose many challenges to firefighting activities due to heat and smoke obstructing visibility,” and added, “We will continue to conduct live fire training to improve teamwork and fire response capabilities.”
