Jeju Fire Department Conducts 'Underground Live Fire Training'

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Fire Safety Headquarters (Chief Park Geun-o) announced on the 12th that it recently conducted an 'Underground Real Fire Training' at a sports center located in Yonggang-dong to enhance fire response capabilities.

Fires in underground floors are difficult to evacuate due to poor ventilation of heat and smoke, making visibility hard to secure, and causing many obstacles to firefighting activities, which can lead to large-scale casualties and property damage.

This training recreated an environment similar to an actual fire situation in the basement of a building, focusing on improving teamwork in preparation for real fire scenarios.

Advanced fire tactics such as 3D water application techniques (long pulsing, short pulsing, etc.) were introduced, and rescue training for trapped victims in the underground area was also conducted.

The 3D water application technique is a method of extinguishing fires within a space by considering heat, smoke, and vapor at the fire scene, ensuring the safety of suppression personnel, minimizing damage to the fire-affected objects, and enabling efficient fire suppression including rapid search for victims.

Park Geun-o, Chief of the Fire Safety Headquarters, said, “We will further strengthen fire response capabilities through realistic training environments tailored to various types of fires, such as underground fires, by creating training conditions similar to actual situations.”
