Gyeonggi Fire Department Opens 'Basic Firefighting' Course at Cambodia's Angkor University

Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy's Online Firefighting Training for Cambodia

Gyeonggi-do Fire Department is launching and operating a basic firefighting training course (10 weeks) to cultivate firefighting talent in Cambodia, where there is a shortage of firefighting technical personnel.

Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy announced on the 28th that it will operate a basic fire safety education course for 24 students from the Korean Language Department of Angkor University in Cambodia until March 28.

The faculty of Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy will provide essential basic fire safety education, including basic firefighting theory and first aid, necessary for disaster management activities, to Angkor University students through online remote education. The training will be conducted once a week for 2 hours over 10 weeks.

The fire safety education follows the acceptance of a request from the university during a visit to Cambodia by Cho Sun-ho, head of the Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters, in November last year to explore cooperation measures such as the provision of fire trucks and equipment, asking for support in cultivating firefighting personnel.

Jung Byung-do, head of Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy, stated, "We plan to continuously expand the operation of this basic firefighting training course and also open specialized advanced courses by field."
