Gwangju Nambu Fire Station Conducts Fire Truck Passage Training at Traditional Market

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 23rd, the Nambu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City conducted a 'Fire Truck Passage Training' targeting Mudeung and Bongseon Markets.

The fire truck passage training is conducted monthly to enhance citizens' awareness of yielding to fire trucks and to ensure the rapid dispatch of emergency vehicles during various disasters by conducting dispatch drills and securing fire lanes in traditional markets and traffic congestion areas within the jurisdiction.

This training included ▲ removal of obstacles on fire truck routes to secure the golden time ▲ crackdown and guidance on illegal parking around traditional markets ▲ fire truck boarding experience entering traditional markets ▲ education on the use of emergency fire extinguishing devices.

In particular, since traditional markets have densely packed stores, rapid fire spread in case of fire can lead to large-scale accidents, so special caution was requested.

Go Jung-hyun, head of the 119 Disaster Response Team, said, “For fire trucks to respond quickly, active cooperation and interest from citizens are necessary. Small considerations such as securing fire lanes for rapid fire truck access can create miracles that save lives.”
