Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Conducts Fire Drills and Joint Safety Inspections for High-Rise Buildings

On the 27th, Gwangju Seobu Fire Station announced that it visited Gwangmyeong Meiruz in Seo-gu to conduct training and safety inspections to enhance the operational capabilities of fire response teams and prevent similar accidents in preparation for winter high-rise building fires.

This training involved mobilizing seven fire vehicles, including pump trucks, aerial ladder trucks, and rescue buses, along with approximately 49 firefighters. The exercises included ▲initial fire response and evacuation by self-defense fire brigades ▲rescue and fire suppression using aerial ladder trucks ▲water spraying using connected water supply pipe facilities (checking water pressure and volume on the top floors) ▲emergency elevator operation training.

Additionally, a joint public-private inspection was conducted to verify the proper functioning of fire facilities installed in the building, check for unauthorized disconnection of fire facilities by related personnel, and confirm that no obstacles were placed in evacuation routes.

A fire official stated, "High-rise and complex buildings often result in significant casualties when fires or disasters occur, so rapid and systematic response is crucial," adding, "We will continue to conduct training that closely simulates real situations."
