On October 4, Jin Tae Kim, Governor of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, visited the 119 Comprehensive Situation Room of the Provincial Fire Headquarters to encourage the firefighters on duty and inspect the on-site response situation.


During the visit, Governor Kim received a report from Oh Seunghun, Chief of the Fire Headquarters, on the status of special emergency duty operations during the Chuseok holiday, key safety incident response plans, and the preparedness of the emergency transport system. He called for thorough measures to ensure the safety of residents.


From October 2 to 10, the Provincial Fire Headquarters has deployed 14,255 firefighters and volunteer fire brigade members, along with 803 pieces of equipment, to all fire stations in the province, initiating a special emergency duty system.



Meanwhile, the 119 emergency call system, which had been disrupted due to the recent fire at the National Information Resources Service, was fully restored on October 1 and is now operating normally. However, 12 systems related to on-site activity support are still in partial recovery. As a result, the Fire Agency's Emergency Response Headquarters remains operational, and the Gangwon Province Comprehensive Situation Room is maintaining a Level 1 emergency response system.
