Jeonbuk Muju and Imsil Fire Stations Established... Operations Begin Tomorrow

New fire stations have been established in Muju-gun and Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, and have begun full-scale operations. With fire stations installed in all 14 cities and counties in the province, fire safety blind spots are being eliminated, providing improved fire services to residents.

According to the Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters on the 11th, Muju Fire Station and Imsil Fire Station have completed all preparations, including the establishment of dispatch systems, and have started full-scale firefighting operations.

Muju Fire Station and Imsil Fire Station began construction in March 2022 and completed the work by June of this year.

Until now, among the 14 cities and counties in the province, there were no fire stations dedicated to the Muju-gun and Imsil-gun areas, causing inconvenience in effective firefighting operations.

With the establishment of these fire stations, the difficulties of traveling long distances to provide prompt fire services and handle fire-related civil complaints for residents have been resolved.

In particular, in the event of a disaster, an emergency rescue control team has been formed to enable rapid on-site command, and a 119 rescue team dedicated to life-saving has been organized.

Additionally, the fire stations serve as disaster control towers during various situations and have secured the so-called golden time by dispatching to key areas within 5 minutes.

Chief Joo Nak-dong stated, "The establishment of fire stations in Muju and Imsil is expected to strengthen systematic disaster management through equitable fire service provision and rapid cooperation by region. With the installation of fire stations in all cities and counties in the province completed, we will do our best to prioritize safety and provide meticulous and thorough responses to residents."
