Gokseong County in South Jeolla Province (Governor Cho Sangrae) announced on the 27th that it conducted a "Specialized Training for Summer Water Safety Personnel" at Amnok Recreation Area in Jugok-myeon on the 25th, with around 30 participants including officials from the Gokseong County Safety and Construction Division, Gokseong Fire Station, and Gokseong County water safety personnel.

This specialized training was carried out with the cooperation of the Gokseong Fire Station 119 Rescue Team to enhance the professionalism of water safety management personnel and to strengthen their on-site response capabilities in emergencies.

The training held at Amnok Recreation Area consisted of both theoretical and practical sessions, covering topics such as how to wear a life jacket, how to throw a lifebuoy, and summer water safety rules.

Notably, this year, Gokseong County and Gokseong Fire Station held a working-level meeting to provide 15 water safety personnel with training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, and lifesaving techniques, thereby further strengthening the response capabilities of safety personnel in real-life situations.

Starting July 1, the 15 Gokseong County water safety management personnel will be sequentially deployed to major water recreation areas in the county, including Amnok Recreation Area and the Youth Campground, to help prevent water-related accidents during the summer.

The water safety management personnel who participated in the training expressed their determination, stating, "With the know-how gained through hands-on lifesaving practice, we will do our utmost to ensure that not a single water-related accident occurs this year in Amnok Recreation Area or anywhere else in Gokseong County."
