Jeonnam Fire Department Accelerates Preparations to Enter Top Ranks at National Fire Investigation Academic Conference

Live Fire Reenactment Experiment Conducted

Jeonnam Fire Department is accelerating preparations with the goal of entering the top ranks nationwide at the ‘2023 National Fire Investigation Academic Conference.’

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Hong Young-geun) on the 11th, a real fire reenactment experiment was conducted the previous day based on the paper titled ‘A Study on Determining the Point of Origin Using the Internet of Things (IOT),’ in collaboration with Haenam Fire Station and the National Fire Research Institute.

The experiment was conducted twice in the Jangheung Agricultural and Industrial Complex area, aiming to secure more accurate data such as the cause of fire, point of origin, and fire patterns by integrating Internet of Things (IOT) technology into fire investigation techniques.

Last September, Jeonnam Fire Department held its own fire investigation academic conference and selected Haenam Fire Station’s ‘A Study on Determining the Point of Origin Using the Internet of Things (IOT)’ as the best work, granting it the qualification to participate in this year’s national competition.

The National Fire Investigation Academic Conference is held annually to improve the investigative skills of fire investigators and to discover and share outstanding fire investigation techniques that are original and have high academic value.

Park Won-guk, Head of the Response and Prevention Division, said, “Through this reenactment experiment, we will lay the foundation for scientific fire investigation and strive to establish clear on-site investigation methods for future fire investigations.”
