Jeonnam Firefighting Trainees to Receive Training in a 'More Systematic and More Comfortable' Environment

Jeonnam Fire Academy Establishes 'Multipurpose Outdoor Training Ground'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Firefighting trainees in Jeonnam can now receive training in a more systematic and comfortable environment.

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) announced on the 7th that a 'multipurpose outdoor training ground' has been established on the site of the Jeonnam Fire School playground.

The existing training ground was made of dirt, so when weather conditions worsened, such as during rain, firefighting training was restricted, making it urgent to improve the training ground conditions.

Accordingly, the outdoor training ground, which has been under construction since last September, was built with an artificial turf and concrete over a total floor area of 7,348㎡, with a budget of about 600 million KRW.

With the installation of this multipurpose outdoor training ground, trainees can receive waterproof training and heavy object training regardless of weather conditions, and can develop their basic physical strength in a more comfortable environment.

At the completion ceremony held on the 5th, Chief Ma Jaeyoon and the fire school staff pledged to create a professional educational environment and to cultivate well-prepared firefighting talent.

The trainees also committed themselves to training with the mindset that the sweat they shed saves lives, vowing to protect the residents at disaster sites without fail.

Ma Jaeyoon, Chief of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, said, “It is the mission of firefighters to have the ability to protect the lives and property of residents,” and added, “We will do our best to nurture field-oriented firefighting personnel equipped with disaster response capabilities through systematic firefighting education and training.”

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Fire School is expected to complete a real fire training facility by December, which, together with the outdoor training ground, will provide more specialized practical training facilities.
