This drill was conducted based on the ship fire incident that occurred at Hallim Port in 2022. Since there is a possibility of a large-scale fire when a fire breaks out on fishing vessels moored in groups, the drill aimed to strengthen initial suppression capabilities through prompt response.

The main training contents included ▲ mission assignments and joint response and communication training by agencies ▲ role division and teamwork training for on-site response team members ▲ inspection and proficiency training of rescue and firefighting equipment operation ▲ fire vessel separation towing and extinguishing training. The drill was conducted assuming a fire occurred at the stern of a fishing vessel moored in parallel at Hallim Port.

The chief of Hallim Substation said, “This joint drill is expected to greatly help improve initial fire response capabilities and effective situation management by learning from the 2022 Hallim Port fire incident,” adding, “We will continue to exchange and cooperate with the fire department to take the lead in protecting the lives and property of the public.”
