The Hangyeong 119 Center was constructed with a total project cost of 3.57 billion KRW, establishing a new base at 4218 Iljuseo-ro, Hangyeong-myeon, where the old deteriorated building used to be. The site covers an area of 2,005㎡, with a two-story building totaling 991㎡ in floor space.

The previous Hangyeong 119 Center had poor working conditions due to limited space and aging facilities. However, with the construction of this new building, the center has secured additional space and improved the working environment to respond swiftly to various disasters.

The first floor is composed of a fire truck garage, infection control room, and offices, arranged to allow field personnel to work efficiently within an optimized workflow.

The second floor includes a fitness room and a space dedicated to the mental and physical well-being of field personnel.

The Hangyeong 119 Center, staffed by 23 field personnel working in three shifts, is expected to provide higher quality fire services to protect the precious lives and property of residents centered around Hangyeong-myeon.

Chief Kim Young-ho said, “I am grateful to everyone who actively supported the construction of the new Hangyeong 119 Center building,” and added, “With the completion of the building, we will do our utmost to improve working conditions and ensure the safety of the residents.”
