Incheon Waterworks Headquarters Shares Information with Fire Department to Assist Fire Suppression

Incheon Metropolitan City Waterworks Headquarters announced on the 7th that it has developed a system in cooperation with the Fire Headquarters to check water supply pipeline information near fire sites.

When a fire occurs, fire hydrants are used to secure firefighting water, but prolonged use of hydrants causes a drop in water pressure in the pipelines, resulting in significant inconvenience for residents using tap water.

Accordingly, the City Waterworks Headquarters agreed to jointly utilize the water operation management analysis system used for water supply management with the Fire Headquarters to resolve the inconvenience of water supply for local residents and the difficulties in firefighting operations faced by the Fire Headquarters.

They also began developing a firefighting field support system for fire site response, enabling the Fire Headquarters to monitor and analyze flow rate, water pressure, and turbidity of water supply near hydrants.

This technical cooperation allows firefighters deployed on the front lines to identify points where firefighting water supply is smoothly available, enabling faster fire suppression operations. Additionally, the newly developed firefighting field support system reduced development costs by utilizing systems already in use by both organizations.

Kim In-su, head of the Incheon City Waterworks Headquarters, stated, "The cooperation between the two organizations will not only strengthen response capabilities at large fire sites but also contribute to improving service quality such as stable water supply for residents."
