Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters Conducts 'Emergency Rescue Control Team' Operation Drill Hosted by the Fire Agency

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters conducted an unannounced activation drill of the Emergency Rescue Control Team, organized by the National Fire Agency, on the 28th in the large conference room on the 3rd floor of the Suwon Gwonseon-gu Office to ensure rapid and efficient response in the event of a large-scale disaster.

The drill, which began with the situation transmission from the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters situation room to the National Fire Agency situation room, proceeded in the order of 'situation assessment meeting → emergency assembly and response of control team operators → activation of the Emergency Rescue Control Team (assignment of firefighting tasks and review and instructions on emergency measures) → press briefing and final situation assessment meeting.'

In the evaluation on the day, the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters conducted the drill focusing on systematic personnel and equipment management by utilizing the 'On-site Personnel Dispatch Support System,' which delivers information to on-site personnel using tablet PCs and LTE radios.

The Emergency Rescue Control Team drill evaluation is conducted by the National Fire Agency for 19 city and provincial headquarters nationwide to improve the activation procedures of the control team and the performance capabilities according to the division of duties among operators in response to various disaster situation messages, thereby strengthening on-site response capabilities.

On this day, through the drill evaluation, the National Fire Agency assumed a large-scale fire occurrence in the jurisdiction and assigned situation messages by time to check whether the Gyeonggi-do Emergency Rescue Control Team responds promptly to the disaster situation.

Lee Sang-gyu, head of the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters, emphasized, "It is more important than anything else to repeatedly conduct drills that simulate real situations to actively respond to increasingly complex and diverse disaster situations," adding, "We will always take the lead in protecting the lives and property of residents through rapid on-site response not only by the fire department but also by related agencies in the event of a large-scale disaster with a prepared attitude."
