Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Conducts 'Rescue Training' to Prepare for Spring Mountain Accidents

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Western Fire Station (Chief Lee Cheontaek) announced on the 31st that it conducted a 'life rescue training' at the Geumdangsan area to prepare for mountain accidents caused by the increase in spring hiking.

Recently, hiking activities have diversified into leisure activities using forests for healing purposes, beyond traditional hiking, camping, and leisure sports.

In this situation, during spring, the rise in temperature causes thawing, leading to ground weakening, which increases the risk of safety accidents for hikers, necessitating preparation.

Accordingly, the Western Fire Station is conducting life rescue capability enhancement training that includes ▲ securing the golden time by quickly confirming the location information of the person in need of rescue ▲ physical training and cultivation of life rescue techniques to prepare for mountain accidents ▲ emergency treatment methods for emergency patients in mountain accidents.

Yoon Seongsang, Head of the 119 Disaster Response Division, said, “Mountain accidents are more difficult to rescue and take more time than accidents occurring in general urban areas, so we will strive to secure the golden time and improve the accuracy of rescue through continuous training.”
