Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters Conducts High-Rise Fire Suppression Drill in Pyeongtaek

[Asia Economy (Pyeongtaek) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters conducted a high-rise fire suppression drill in Pyeongtaek on the 28th. Since the 1st of this month, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters has been conducting fire suppression drills for high-rise buildings at 35 fire stations across the province.

In the drill, the headquarters and the Pyeongtaek Fire Station's on-site command team participated, assuming a fire occurred in a high-rise building over 30 floors (120m) where the use of internal fire-fighting equipment is difficult.

The drill focused on quickly connecting outdoor fire hoses (65mm) and minimizing hose friction loss to secure sufficient water pressure.

After the drill, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters plans to conduct consulting to share training methods and fire-fighting tactical techniques.

Lee Sang-gyu, head of the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters, who observed the drill, stated, "Facilities with high risks of casualties, such as super high-rise buildings, are rapidly increasing in Gyeonggi-do," and emphasized, "We will continue to promote pinpoint safety measures tailored to the characteristics of each vulnerable target to strengthen safety management."
