Dong-A University, "How to Evacuate During Dormitory Fire and Earthquake" In-Person Training After 3 Years

Joint Fire Station Drill, 1,300 Personnel Dispatched

Dong-A University conducted the ‘2023 1st Semester Hallim Dormitory Night Fire and Earthquake Evacuation Drill’ in collaboration with Busan Saha Fire Station and Jungbu Fire Station.

Due to COVID-19, this drill was held face-to-face for the first time in three years, with over 1,300 participants including students from Hallim Dormitories at Seunghak Campus, Bumin Campus, and Gudeok Campus.

The drills, held respectively at Seunghak Campus (on the 4th), Gudeok Campus (on the 29th of last month), and Bumin Campus (on the 28th of last month), were conducted by completing evacuation within 5 minutes of the fire alarm activation and demonstrating the use of powder fire extinguishers.

Fire and earthquake evacuation drills are underway at Hallim Dormitory on Dong-A University Seunghak Campus.

An official from Dong-A University’s Hallim Dormitory stated, “This drill saw the highest number of participants ever, showing increased student interest in safety,” adding, “Students who could not participate on the day actively joined drills held at other campus dormitories on different dates.”

Students Kim Min-hee and Kim Dong-hyun, who participated in the drill, said, “119 firefighters personally explained and demonstrated how to use fire extinguishers and fire hydrants,” and “Although it was a simulated drill, hundreds of people gathered and acted seriously to prepare for a real situation.”
