[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] 'Safety Experience Centers' will be installed in fire stations across Gyeonggi Province. These centers are places where any resident can experience emergency procedures such as fire, earthquake, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The Gyeonggi Provincial Fire and Disaster Headquarters announced on the 19th that the "Ordinance on the Installation and Operation of Fire Station Safety Experience Centers in Gyeonggi Province," fully revised and proposed by Assemblyman Kim Chang-sik (Democratic Party, Namyangju 5) of the Gyeonggi Provincial Council's Safety Administration Committee, passed the provincial council plenary session on the 12th.

The ordinance includes ▲ functions and matters related to the installation and operation of fire station safety experience centers ▲ personnel allocation and safety management tasks ▲ usage methods and overall matters concerning fire station safety experience centers.

In particular, detailed standards for the installation and facilities of safety experience centers stipulate that at least one center must be installed in each fire station to improve accessibility for residents and provide disaster safety education services without regional disparities.

Chosunho, head of the Gyeonggi Provincial Fire and Disaster Headquarters, said, "As social awareness of safety has recently expanded, the importance of safety experience education has greatly increased. By establishing standards for expanding fire station safety experience centers and managing safety experience education for the first time nationwide, we expect it to significantly contribute to enhancing residents' safety awareness as well as their disaster and safety accident response capabilities."

Meanwhile, in Gyeonggi Province, 11 fire stations including Suwon Fire Station operate fire station safety experience centers.
