Gwangju Nambu Fire Station, Fire Evacuation Drill with Citizen Participation at Multi-use Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Nambu Fire Station of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 16th that it conducted a citizen participation fire evacuation drill at E-Mart Bongseon Branch to raise citizens' safety awareness.

This drill was conducted to secure the safety of citizens in case of emergency, as the number of multi-use facilities frequented by unspecified many people has recently increased, raising concerns about significant human and property damage in the event of a fire. About 40 people, including citizens visiting E-Mart Bongseon Branch, participated.

The drill proceeded with a scenario message of "a fire of unknown cause occurred in the kitchen of the basement level 1 snack bar," followed by 119 emergency call and evacuation training, fire extinguisher, fire hydrant, and CPR education, and listening to participants' feedback.

Citizens shared their thoughts, saying, "It was a meaningful time to learn the correct way to use a fire extinguisher by actually using it during the drill as if it were a real situation. Through this drill, I think I will be able to respond calmly even if a fire breaks out."

Go Jung-hyun, head of the 119 Disaster Response Team, said, "Thank you for actively participating in the fire evacuation drill. We will continue to conduct various drills and education so that citizens can respond promptly in case of fire."
