Hong Young-geun, Head of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, Sweats It Out Inspecting Flood and Wind Damage Risk Areas On Site

Hong Young-geun, head of the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, is working hard to achieve zero casualties from summer wind and flood disasters.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 5th, Director Hong visited coastal lowlands and flood-prone areas to conduct on-site inspections of regions at risk of wind and flood damage.

He visited flood-prone areas including Gusu-ri in Baeksu-eup, Yeonggwang-gun, Chilgok-ri in Hongnong-eup coastal lowlands, Hampyeongcheon Stream, and Hampyeongcheon Traditional Market.

He instructed to strengthen surveillance activities such as forward deployment of firefighting forces, maintain 100% operational status of water rescue equipment, and actively respond to minimize wind and flood damage through cooperation systems with emergency rescue support agencies.

In particular, regarding the water accident in Hampyeong that occurred on the 28th of last month, he emphasized preventive activities such as village broadcasts requesting residents to refrain from going out during heavy rain and strengthening patrols by fire trucks.

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters is promoting emergency rescue measures to minimize wind and flood damage and has been continuously conducting confirmation inspections by senior officials including fire station chiefs at 557 flood-prone sites across the province since June.

Director Hong said, “Jeonnam Fire will do its best to ensure a safe summer for the residents,” and added, “We ask all residents to actively cooperate by following safety rules.”
