[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Western Fire Station (Chief Kim Young-ho) announced on the 2nd that it conducted emergency escape drills last month for all frontline 119 centers to prepare for situations where firefighters might become trapped during fire-fighting activities inside buildings.

This training was carried out in response to a similar fire crisis situation following the tragic incident on January 5th at a logistics center construction site in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, where three rescue workers lost their lives.

The main training contents focused on confirming escape routes using fire hoses, escape drills passing through obstacles, and handling falls and obstacle navigation in spaces with varying heights.

Chief Kim Young-ho stated, “Disaster scenes change moment by moment and contain many risk factors, so various tactics and techniques are needed to protect firefighters. We will continue in-depth training to ensure the safety of our personnel in crisis situations and prevent unforeseen accidents.”

Meanwhile, the Western Fire Station plans to select important themes each month and promote efficient fire suppression and life rescue through various tactical trainings.
