[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Fire Station (Chief Ko Jae-woo) announced on the 28th that it conducted a 'fire suppression drill' on the 27th at Dongmun Market to improve the fire response capability of traditional markets.

Jeju Fire Station is promoting fire safety measures for traditional markets to prevent winter fires in traditional markets and to reduce fire damage through rapid response in case of fire.

This drill assumed a fire occurring in a store at Dongmun Market spreading to nearby shops, focusing on tactics to suppress the fire from four directions, initial large-volume water spray training, high-altitude water spray fire suppression using an aerial ladder truck, and containment of fire spread.

Ko Jae-woo, Chief of Jeju Fire Station, said, "Initial response is most important when a fire occurs in traditional markets where stores are densely packed," and added, "Please pay attention to fire prevention regularly, and we ask for the cooperation of market officials to ensure smooth passage of fire trucks."
