Jeonnam Fire Department Completes Distribution of 'Firefighting Drones' to Fire Stations and Special Response Teams in the Province
Operating a total of 35 units... Fully committed to strengthening on-site response capabilities
Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Hong Young-geun) is putting all its efforts into strengthening on-site response capabilities.
Jeonnam Fire announced on the 10th that it has completed the distribution of firefighting drones to 22 fire stations and the 119 Special Response Team within the province. With this, Jeonnam Fire operates a total of 35 drones.
Firefighting drones are essential equipment for firefighters exposed to unexpected dangers and sudden situations while performing various tasks at disaster sites.
They played a significant role in firefighting operations through video recording during the 2021 Yeosu Petrochemical Complex hazardous materials fire and serve various roles as crisis response tools such as response, search, and rescue at disaster sites.
The newly distributed drones are equipped with thermal imaging cameras. This enables rapid disaster site assessment and command through integration with the 119 comprehensive situation room and video control system, as well as efficient human search and rescue over wide areas.
Additionally, Jeonnam Fire School invited experts from the 4th to the 6th to conduct training to improve firefighting drone operation skills. Jeonnam Fire plans to continue providing ongoing operational training.
Chief Hong Young-geun said, “We expect that the distribution of these drones will further enhance disaster site response capabilities,” and added, “We will operate them efficiently at disaster sites and do our best for the safety of the residents.”
