The 119 Emergency Situation Room is equipped with five communication consoles (three for report reception, two for emergency situation management), vehicle tracking and disaster video monitoring systems, and a total of 50 pieces of equipment across 14 types and 32 units, located on the second floor of the Western Fire Station in Hallim-eup, prepared for situations where the 119 Situation Room cannot operate.

This training focused on mastering all necessary procedures so that teams can perform actual 119 situation tasks at the 119 Emergency Situation Room.

The main training contents included actual 119 report reception, smooth transfer between communication operators and emergency situation personnel, checking for system abnormalities such as recording during report reception and caller location information, and inspecting the status of dispatch-related systems after report reception.

Park Geun-o, Chief of the Fire Safety Headquarters, said, "We will do our best to ensure that the situation room operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year under any circumstances so that all residents can have a safe and enjoyable Lunar New Year holiday."
