Gyeonggi Fire Department Conducts Emergency Response Training Using 3D Training Pads Based on Actual Terrain Photography

Cho Sun-ho, Head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, is taking a commemorative photo with the training participants after completing the emergency response drill for multiple casualties.

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters devised a Gyeonggi-do type system using a "three-dimensional training pad" (map) recreated by filming the actual terrain for the first time nationwide, along with patient cards and model emergency vehicles, and conducted a vivid and realistic surprise mass casualty dispatch drill.

Recently, the Fire and Disaster Headquarters of the province conducted a surprise mass casualty dispatch drill in the large conference room on the 3rd floor of the headquarters building in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon. This drill was carried out without prior notice and began with a 119 emergency call reporting a fire at a nursing home in Yongin, resulting in about 30 casualties.

Subsequently, six ambulances and paramedics from five fire stations around the nursing home were dispatched to the training site, where they quickly positioned vehicles and triaged patients according to severity using the training pad, patient cards, and vehicle models that replicated the nursing home area where the disaster occurred, proceeding exactly as in an actual disaster response situation.

In particular, the rapid response team from Yeongtong-gu Public Health Center in Suwon arrived, and the ambulance captain transferred command authority to the health center director. They carried out their mission together with Ajou University DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team), a disaster base hospital, and the Gyeonggi Emergency Medical Support Center.

The drill concluded with a final briefing on the mass casualty response results by the on-site emergency medical director.

Cho Sun-ho, head of the provincial Fire and Disaster Headquarters, stated, "By using a training pad created by filming the actual terrain and vehicle models, we enhanced the vividness, realism, and immersion of the training as if it were a real situation." He added, "Through this drill, we expect that the cooperative system with related organizations and integrated response capabilities will be further strengthened."
