The main contents included evacuation of people, evacuation routes, checking emergency exits, analyzing predicted fire spread routes in case of fire, identifying obstacles to on-site activities, confirming the location of firefighting facilities and selecting vehicle deployment locations, and educating related personnel on initial response methods through drills simulating real situations.

Chief Yang In-seok stated, “Facilities for the elderly and disabled have many people with mobility difficulties, so there is a high risk of multiple casualties if a fire occurs.
