Oh Seung-hoon, Head of Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, Inspects Priority Signal System for Emergency Vehicles

Oh Seung-hoon, the head of the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, is making every effort to secure the golden time.

According to the Jeonnam Fire Headquarters on the 20th, Director Oh visited the Mokpo Fire Station on the 18th to inspect the emergency vehicle priority signal system.

The 'emergency vehicle priority signal system' tracks the location of emergency vehicles during dispatch and automatically grants a green light before entering intersections, controlling the signals to allow the vehicles to reach their destinations quickly.

In Jeonnam Province, the emergency vehicle priority signal system is installed and operating at major congestion intersections in the Mokpo, Yeosu, Suncheon, Naju, and Gwangyang areas.

This inspection was conducted on the main road section from Mokpo Fire Station to Yeondong Square (round trip, L=8.4km), and Director Oh personally rode in the command vehicle to check the operation status of the priority signal system.

This section usually experiences heavy traffic, causing difficulties for emergency vehicle passage during dispatch; however, the operation of the emergency vehicle priority signal system has significantly contributed to securing the golden time by improving speed and reducing passing time.

Director Oh Seung-hoon stated, “The rapid dispatch of emergency vehicles is an essential condition to protect the lives and property of the residents,” and added, “Even if temporary traffic congestion occurs due to the operation of the priority signal system, we ask for the understanding and cooperation of all residents.”
