Chungnam Undersea Tunnel Rescue Team Launched... Securing Golden Time for Boryeong Undersea Tunnel

The Chungnam Undersea Tunnel Rescue Team was launched for the first time in the country on the 30th.

The Undersea Tunnel Rescue Team held an inauguration ceremony at the temporary office of the Boryeong Undersea Tunnel Management Office on this day and officially began its mission.

The Fire Headquarters organized the Undersea Tunnel Rescue Team to ensure rescue operations within the golden time in the event of a disaster in the Boryeong Undersea Tunnel, the longest in Korea. It is also expected to be of great help in disaster sites along the west coast, such as western Boryeong and southern Taean.

The Undersea Tunnel Rescue Team, composed of 13 special rescue members, will operate 24 hours a day in three shifts.

Kwon Hyukmin, head of the Provincial Fire Headquarters, said, "By establishing a new dispatch base in line with changes in transportation infrastructure, we will greatly contribute to improving fire safety in the West Coast marine leisure tourism complex, including Wonsando."
