Highly Praised for Achieving Zero Large-Scale Fires with Region-Specific Safety Measures

Gangjin Fire Station Ranks 1st Among 230 Fire Stations Nationwide, a Double Celebration

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Hong Young-geun) ranked first nationwide among 18 cities and provinces in the evaluation of the '2022~2023 Winter Fire Safety Measures.' Additionally, the Gangjin Fire Station earned the honor of ranking first among 230 frontline fire stations nationwide.

Following its first-place achievement in the nationwide spring fire prevention measures last year, Jeonnam Fire once again secured the top position, proving once more that it provides the best safety services to the residents of Jeonnam.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 12th, this evaluation, organized by the National Fire Agency, was conducted over four months starting from November last year, targeting 19 fire headquarters nationwide.

The evaluation assessed seven major strategies including fire safety management of specific fire targets, strengthening the response capabilities of fire-vulnerable groups, and public fire safety promotion activities, as well as the performance of special policies implemented by each city and province.

Jeonnam Fire received high marks for analyzing the characteristics of the Jeonnam region, which has entered a super-aged society, and its regional disaster vulnerabilities, and for achieving zero major fires by preparing various region-specific safety measures.

It was the first in the nation to designate fire safety facilities as return gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program and established a disaster safety data mapping system.

Additionally, it developed new fire education programs using both online and offline methods and operated the Burning Youth 119 Youth Group Camping Club, composed of people aged 60 and over, to foster a safety culture among the elderly.

Chief Hong Young-geun stated, “This achievement was possible thanks to the efforts and interest of the residents in fire prevention,” and added, “Jeonnam Fire will continue to strive to protect the precious lives and property of the residents.”
