Jeonnam 119 Special Response Team Finds Missing Person Using 'Firefighting Drone'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Department 119 Special Response Team used a 'firefighting drone' to find a missing woman in her 50s in the Daedeok-eup area of Jangheung-gun.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 23rd, a joint search request for the missing person was received from the Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency around 11 a.m. the previous day.

The missing person had not returned home for about a week, and her family reported her missing.

The Jeonnam 119 Special Response Team immediately responded by deploying 15 rescue and search personnel, 2 firefighting dogs, and 5 pieces of equipment to conduct the search.

As the search area was wide and difficult, the missing person was found using the deployed drone.

A special rescue team official said, "It would have been better if the missing person had been alive, but we are relieved that she was able to return to her family," adding, "The search area was wide and the search could have continued for a long time, but thanks to the firefighting drone search, a swift rescue was possible."

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Fire Department is increasing the utilization of firefighting drones at various disaster sites, including finding a missing elderly man in his 80s using a firefighting drone on the 18th.
