Gyeonggi Fire Department Receives Great Response for Street Firefighting Experience

Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters' Street Firefighting Experience Event

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters' 'Citizen Participation Street Fire Safety Experience (Street Fire Fighter),' launched to promote fire safety culture, is receiving great response from residents.

The Street Fire Safety Experience is a citizen participation event organized by the Fire and Disaster Headquarters, where they visit crowded areas in the province once or twice a month to conduct street fire safety experiences. Participants who complete the given tasks receive promotional items as gifts.

In October last year, the Fire and Disaster Headquarters first visited Everland in Yongin and conducted a fire hammer (hammering) experience, where participants complete the task by striking a hammer to move a tool within a set time. At Starfield in Hanam, they held a competition for the Heimlich maneuver and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), emergency procedures for airway obstruction. In December last year, they visited the Suwon Station concourse to conduct a mannequin dragging experience with different weights.

The first experience event of this year will be held on the 25th of this month at the Gonjiam Resort Ski Resort in Gwangju City. This experience involves dragging a mannequin using a sled.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters shares videos filmed on-site on their official YouTube channel (ggfire119) to share the experience with residents who could not participate in person. The videos posted so far have each recorded around 2,000 views.
