Ranked 'Nationwide' 1st at the Central Competition Held by the Fire Agency on the 27th

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon Fire Station (Jeonnam Fire Headquarters) announced on the 29th that it was selected as the nationwide first place and the best award at the research presentation contest on strengthening on-site response capabilities conducted by the National Fire Agency on the 27th.

The second place went to Gyeongnam Fire Headquarters, and the third place to Busan Fire Headquarters.

Suncheon Fire Station, which was selected as the first place, will receive a commendation from the Minister of the Interior and Safety, and a separate award ceremony will be held later.

The research presentation contest on strengthening on-site response capabilities is an academic research competition that presents disaster response techniques such as effective on-site response systems and specialized fire response technology development based on disaster situations that occurred over the past year. In this central competition, nine representative teams selected through competitions by each city and province competed on the themes of ▲ small-scale residential fires (Seoul, Daegu, Jeonbuk) ▲ small vessel fires (Jeonnam, Busan, Gyeongnam) ▲ resource circulation facilities and waste facility fires (Ulsan, Gyeonggi, Gyeongbuk).

The Suncheon Fire Station research team (Fire Lieutenant Kim Jae-sang, Fire Lieutenant Jeong Hyeong-tae, Firefighter Lee Hyun-jin, Firefighter Kim Min-sik), which won first place at the Jeonnam provincial competition in June, participated in the central competition after three months of supplementary research on the topic of small vessel fires docked at national and local fishing ports, achieving the first place in the national competition for the first time in Jeonnam Fire Headquarters history.

In particular, the Suncheon Fire Station research team proposed effective response measures such as the utilization plan of fishing port information cards, use of private resources through agreements with fishing cooperatives in each fishing port, installation of emergency fire extinguishing equipment boxes and seawater reservoirs within the fishing ports, installation of seawater pumps, and manuals for fire suppression techniques for each situation, receiving high scores from the evaluation committee.

Ha Su-cheol, Chief of Suncheon Fire Station, said, “Suncheon Fire Station has achieved the valuable result of winning first place nationwide in the research contest on strengthening on-site response capabilities, representing Jeonnam Fire Headquarters for the first time. I deeply thank the research team who endured the arduous research period of about five months and worked hard while carrying out on-site activities to promote Jeonnam Fire Headquarters.” He added, “Suncheon Fire Station will apply the experience gained from this national competition to the field and make every effort to prepare for regional disaster safety.”
