Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy Designated as Nation's First 'Fire Investigation Agency'
Gyeonggi-do Fire Service Academy was designated as the nation's first 'Fire Investigation Agency' by the National Fire Agency on the 10th.
The Fire Investigation Agency is designated by evaluating the criteria announced by the National Fire Agency according to the 'Fire Investigation Act related to Firefighting,' and with this designation, Gyeonggi-do Fire Service Academy has obtained legal grounds and credibility for fire evidence appraisal.
Since 2012, Gyeonggi Fire Service Academy has established dedicated facilities, specialized equipment, and a team of full-time personnel with master's and doctoral degrees for evidence appraisal in response to the increasing number of fire lawsuits and demands for scientific determination of fire causes, conducting appraisals on over 2,000 pieces of evidence to date.
Additionally, to enhance expertise, it has built a close working consultation system with the National Fire Research Institute and actively participates in recall work for fire-related products with the National Institute of Technology and Standards, expanding its scope through research and prevention activities based on fire investigations.
Fire Lieutenant Jo Yong-seon (Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering), who is in charge of electrical field appraisals, emphasized, "While fire scene investigation involves visual interpretation, evidence appraisal allows logical interpretation based on scientific grounds, making the role of specialized appraisal agencies very important."
