Entering 19 Weeks of Training... Focus on Field-Centered Practical Work and Hands-On Practice

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Hong Young-geun) announced on the 11th that it held the '17th New Appointee Course Entrance Ceremony' at the Fire Academy and began training for the new course.

A total of 64 prospective firefighters (52 men and 12 women), who will be responsible for the safety of the residents, will undergo 19 weeks of residential training at the Fire Academy until January 19 next year.

As new fire officials, they will acquire various on-site skills necessary for disaster scenes, including theoretical courses such as basic knowledge and fire laws, as well as practical skills like fire suppression, rescue, and first aid, before being assigned to fire stations within the province.

The new appointee course is conducted with a focus on practical and hands-on training centered on the field, aiming to cultivate professional firefighters who are strong on-site and can perform their duties without any issues when deployed to disaster scenes.

Park Cheon-jo, Director of Fire Education, said, "Congratulations on taking your first step as a fire official, and I hope you complete the training course diligently and become professional firefighters."

Meanwhile, since its opening in June 2017, the Jeonnam Fire Academy has trained 1,240 new appointees to date.
