Air Force 1st Fighter Wing Conducts Fuel Fire Suppression Training... Establishing Perfect Firefighting Response Posture
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Air Force 1st Fighter Wing is focusing on establishing a perfect firefighting response posture through practical training.
The 1st Fighter Wing announced on the 10th that it conducted a fuel fire suppression drill.
The drill was carried out to check the firefighting capabilities of firefighters in the event of a fuel fire and to improve the firefighting activity performance of each unit.
The training began when the Fuel Company reported a simulated fuel fire to the Firefighting Company.
Upon receiving the report, the Fire Rescue Company’s command center immediately dispatched three fire trucks and 15 firefighters to the scene.
Upon arrival at the fire site, the fire chief received the situation from the Fuel Company’s unit firefighting team, which was conducting the initial fire response.
The fire rescue personnel controlled the people around the site to prepare for the risk of fire spread while simultaneously suppressing the fire. Considering the nature of fuel fires that rapidly escalate into large-scale fires, all available fire trucks were mobilized at the early stage of the fire.
After extinguishing the main fire, the drill was concluded by cleaning up the remaining embers around the area and investigating the cause of the fire.
In particular, to enhance the initial fire response capabilities of each unit, the training department was educated before the drill on the types and usage of fire extinguishers, procedures to follow during a fire, and reporting methods, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the training.
