Fire Agency Provides Training on Large-Scale Disaster Response Systems to Developing Countries

The Central Fire Service Academy of the National Fire Agency announced on the 4th that it will conduct fire safety training for disaster response personnel from developing countries as part of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) human resource development project.

This project was established to transfer Korea's large-scale disaster emergency rescue response technology to developing countries and to help these countries effectively respond to large-scale disasters.

The training, which will be held for two weeks from the 4th to the 15th, will involve 18 disaster response personnel from three countries: Madagascar, C?te d'Ivoire, and the Dominican Republic. The training program focuses on ▲virtual disaster command simulation training ▲response to mass casualty incidents ▲firefighting drone utilization training, and includes visits to the National Fire Agency, Seoul Comprehensive Disaster Prevention Center, and Yeouido Water Rescue Team during the course.

The National Fire Agency hopes that this training will contribute to enhancing the disaster response capabilities of the participating developing countries and strengthening humanitarian cooperation between nations.

Majeyoon Ma, head of the Central Fire Service Academy, said, “We will gradually expand international education programs in the future to actively promote the advanced K-Fire disaster response capabilities to the international community and to revitalize exchanges and cooperation between countries. We will strive to raise the status of Korean firefighting in the world.”
