Jeju Fire Station (Chief Yang In-seok) announced on the 25th that it recently conducted a joint fire drill with the self-defense fire brigade at multi-use facilities, including a multiplex cinema.

Since these facilities are used by an unspecified large number of people, the drill was held at CGV Nohyeong Tower, where there is concern about large-scale casualties in the event of a disaster. The training involved simulated fire drills with various accident scenarios inside the building and role assignments for response.
