Simulated Ship Fire Drill at Gamcheon Port on the 18th

Did you know there is a special firefighter protecting the port of Busan?

Busan Port Authority (BPA, President Kang Jun-seok) conducted mini fire truck training on the 18th at Gamcheon Port to prepare for ship fires.

The mini fire truck is a small pump vehicle modified from a motorcycle that, when a fire occurs, moves to a nearby location, connects a hose, and draws firefighting water or seawater to quickly extinguish the fire.

A firefighting operation using a mini fire truck is underway at Gamcheon Port.

Disaster safety officers from BPA and operational staff from Busan Port Security Corporation participated in the training held at the west pier of Gamcheon Port.

BPA assumed a fire outbreak on an oil-carrying vessel docked at the mooring facility and provided education on ▲fire occurrence reporting and notification procedures, ▲usage and maintenance methods of the mini fire truck, and conducted ▲hands-on training using the mini fire truck to spray water directly.

At Busan Port, a total of five mini fire trucks are deployed, with one each at Bukhang Sinsundae Pier, Jaseongdae Pier, the east and west piers of Gamcheon Port, and the small vessel pier at New Port.
