Jeju Fire Department, Fire Truck Right-of-Way... Consideration Saving Neighbors' Lives

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Fire Safety Headquarters conducted a "Joint Training for Giving Way to Fire Trucks with Residents" on the 14th across the entire province to secure the golden time at disaster sites and improve the dispatch environment for fire trucks.

The Fire Safety Headquarters conducts fire truck right-of-way training at least once a month in cooperation with related organizations such as the Autonomous Police Unit and TBN Traffic Broadcasting to encourage active interest and participation from residents.

Recently, to increase residents' awareness, promotional activities have been strengthened through various ride-along experiences and expanded campaigns involving diverse occupational groups.

This training was simultaneously conducted at 24 major sections within the province, including the approximately 5.5 km route from Jeju Fire Station → Gwangyang Intersection → Sinjeju Entrance Intersection → Jeju Provincial Office.

About 300 personnel, including firefighters, volunteer firefighters, and related organizations, and 63 vehicles such as fire trucks participated in the training.

Additionally, TBN Jeju Traffic Broadcasting transmitted the training situation and emergency vehicle yielding methods to listeners in real time, and the Autonomous Police Unit's motorcycle patrol controlled vehicle movement in advance at major intersections and congested areas to secure movement routes, enhancing the training effect through a collaborative system.

Governor Oh Young-hoon personally rode along in a fire truck on the day to check the dispatch environment and emphasized the necessity of yielding to emergency vehicles and improving the fire truck dispatch environment.

Governor Oh stated, "Thanks to the active cooperation of citizens, the training time was shortened compared to the initial expectation," and emphasized, "Since the effectiveness of the fire truck right-of-way project has been proven, we will strengthen training to ensure it is applied without any issues in actual situations."

He added, "The Jeju provincial government will strengthen cooperation with related organizations such as the Fire Safety Headquarters and the Autonomous Police Unit to secure the golden time at disaster sites and will spare no support to ensure smooth progress of projects related to improving the fire truck dispatch environment."
