Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station announced on the 26th that it had recently conducted an unannounced activation drill of the Emergency Rescue Control Team at the parking lot annexed to the National Asia Culture Center to strengthen disaster response capabilities.

The Emergency Rescue Control Team is a temporary organization that commands all measures such as rescue operations and first aid performed by emergency rescue agencies and support organizations to protect the lives, bodies, and property of the public in the event of a disaster.

This drill focused on enhancing the ability to respond to electric vehicle fires. In addition, an unannounced inspection of the disaster safety communication network (PS-LTE) was carried out to test the transmission of disaster situations to emergency rescue support agencies upon activation of the control team.

The drill was conducted as a systematic procedure training for disaster response and stabilization, including situation analysis based on step-by-step unannounced messages from the control team, development of operational plans, risk suppression, and search and rescue, with the aim of improving the ability of control team personnel to respond to large-scale disasters.

Kim Youngil, head of Gwangju Dongbu Fire Station, stated, "Through systematic training that simulates real-life situations, we will do our utmost to establish an immediate response posture in the event of large-scale complex disasters and protect the lives and property of our citizens."
