Protecting All Mountain Hikers... Ulsan Seoul Fire Station Deploys Mountain Volunteer Firefighters to Yeongnam Alps Forward Base

The Ulsan Seoul Fire Station will deploy a mountain rescue volunteer fire brigade near the summit of Ganjeoljae in the Yeongnam Alps from the 6th to May 26th to address the frequent safety accidents among hikers during the spring season.

The Seoul Fire Station's mountain rescue volunteer fire brigade currently consists of 17 members who are deployed in advance according to seasonal and periodic needs, and has been operating since 2013.

The main activities include searching for missing hikers, providing on-site first aid, assisting in rescue and emergency medical services, patrolling hiking trails for safety, and monitoring for forest fire prevention.

A representative from the Seoul Fire Station stated, "We expect a continuous influx of hikers climbing the seven peaks of the Yeongnam Alps," and added, "We will prepare for safety accidents through various measures, including the advanced deployment of the mountain rescue volunteer fire brigade."

During last year's advanced deployment period, the Seoul Fire Station's mountain rescue volunteer fire brigade protected citizens' safety through approximately 190 activities, including 160 on-site treatments, 28 transports, and 3 rescues.
