The Daejeon Fire Department has announced that it will operate two additional ambulances to respond effectively to disasters and secure the golden hour for emergency patients.

This increase was implemented to enable more rapid emergency response, as the demand for ambulance dispatches has risen, with emergency activities being carried out every six minutes last year.

The newly introduced ambulances will be deployed in areas identified as vulnerable during the golden hour through big data analysis.

The Daejeon Fire Department expects that securing a total of 36 ambulances through this expansion will improve the emergency response environment, including better securing of the golden hour.

Kang Daehoon, Chief of the Daejeon Fire Department, said, "We will continue to strengthen our emergency infrastructure to proactively respond to the changing disaster environment and to provide the highest level of emergency services for citizens."
