This evaluation, which assesses the disaster response capabilities of fire headquarters in 18 cities and provinces nationwide, was conducted through a comprehensive assessment by a panel of internal and external training experts on a total of 11 indicators and 70 items, including the establishment of practical training plans tailored to regional characteristics, on-site training evaluations, disaster response case presentation contests, and improvements to disaster response measures.

In particular, the Northern Fire Headquarters received high praise from the evaluators for its practical training during the on-site evaluation of the "2024 Gyeonggi-do Northern Emergency Rescue Comprehensive Training" held on May 30 last year in the Cheonil Paint area of Yangju City. This included the installation and operation of a field hospital assuming a medical crisis, securing a water supply system in areas inaccessible to fire trucks, and responding to the inflow of contaminated firefighting water.

Hong Jang-pyo, head of the Northern Fire and Disaster Headquarters, said, “This valuable result was achieved through the united efforts of all fire stations and support agencies in the northern Gyeonggi region to strengthen disaster response capabilities.” He added, “We will continue to concentrate all our capabilities to actively promote various policies for the safety of the residents.”
