Jeonnam Fire Department Hosts the 3rd Real Fire Investigation Competition

Enhancing Professional Knowledge and Analytical Skills of Fire Investigation Personnel

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced that it held the ‘3rd Jeonnam Real Fire Investigation Competition’ on the 14th and 15th at the Jangheung-gun Busan-myeon Agricultural Industrial Complex.

The fire investigation competition, held for the third time this year, was organized to help fire investigation personnel acquire professional knowledge and skills and improve their fire scene investigation abilities by reproducing actual fire scenes and examining the fire progression and patterns through investigation.

Fire investigation is a process of scientifically analyzing the fire progression and combustion patterns to determine the cause of the fire.

It is used as basic data for establishing fire prevention policies to prevent similar fires.

This competition was conducted in three stages, evaluating the fire cause and damage investigation, on-site investigation, and detailed appraisal skills of 41 fire investigators from 18 fire stations across Jeonnam Province.

In particular, to simulate an actual fire scene, an internal space was created inside a one-room type container with office furniture and fixtures, and after artificially igniting a fire, the cause determination through on-site investigation and the preparation of a fire occurrence report were evaluated to rank the participants.

Ma Jaeyoon, Chief of the Fire Headquarters, said, “Through the competition, we will enhance the capabilities of fire investigation personnel and make continuous efforts to ensure reliable fire investigation trusted by the public by sharing excellent investigation techniques and various information through fire investigations.”
