Jeonnam Fire Department: "Remember '119' for Emergencies During Holiday Break"

The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Hong Young-geun) urged the public to actively use 119 in emergencies during the holiday period.

The Jeonnam 119 Integrated Situation Room will expand the reporting reception system during the holiday to provide 24-hour medical services such as guidance on on-duty hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies, as well as emergency treatment instructions, while maintaining a constant emergency communication system with related organizations.

In particular, the CPR video guidance system uses video calls to help callers respond appropriately in emergency situations.

In fact, on the 13th, a patient in their 70s who was unconscious and not breathing at a pension in Yeosu City was revived through video guidance.

At that time, the call receiver quickly dispatched an ambulance and connected the caller to the 119 emergency medical technician, enabling prompt emergency treatment.

Firefighter Cheon Nuri, a 119 emergency medical management officer, actively saved a precious life by providing CPR instructions and rotation cycles through a video call with the scene until the ambulance arrived in 10 minutes.

Chief Hong Young-geun said, “We will do our utmost to protect the lives of the people and improve survival rates without any negligence,” and added, “Please actively use 119 in emergency situations during the holiday period.”
