"Avoid Flashover"... Ulsan Nambu Fire Station's 'Emergency Escape Training for Disaster-Isolated Firefighters'

A training exercise simulating emergency escape for firefighters trapped at disaster sites will be conducted in Ulsan.

Okdong 119 Safety Center of Ulsan Nambu Fire Station (Chief Kim Gyu-ju) announced that on the 28th at 10 a.m., about 10 firefighting personnel will participate in the "Emergency Escape Training for Firefighters Trapped at Disaster Sites."

This training was organized to develop the ability to safely escape in urgent situations where firefighters become trapped due to sudden flashover or other incidents at disaster scenes.

Flashover is a stage of indoor fire where the entire room is suddenly engulfed in flames. Along with the backdraft phenomenon, it is a fire stage that puts firefighters in dangerous situations.

The main contents of this training include ▲ the necessity of escape equipment for firefighters during emergencies and equipment demonstrations ▲ how to use and precautions for firefighter escape equipment ▲ emergency escape methods using other equipment such as ladders and fire hoses ▲ training to master escape techniques suitable for on-site situations.

The head of Okdong 119 Safety Center said, “If firefighters become trapped on site, they must be proficient in using equipment for a swift escape,” adding, “Through realistic training, we will enhance the staff’s on-site response capabilities to minimize casualties.”
