The training, held on May 7, was organized to strengthen wildfire prevention amid the continued dry weather. By integrating the on-site experience of ground observers with cutting-edge drone technology from the private sector, the aim was to establish a more comprehensive wildfire monitoring network.

During the training, a multidimensional patrol was conducted, linking ground and aerial operations, especially around the rugged terrain near Sangchinsa. In particular, NinaNo Company deployed high-performance drones to demonstrate real-time, precise monitoring of steep slopes and deep valleys that are difficult for personnel to access. This enabled a realistic drill to check the rapid dissemination of information and the initial wildfire response system in the event of a wildfire.

Kim Youngbaek, head of Joma-myeon, stated, "By combining the dedicated efforts of wildfire monitors in the field with the advanced technology of NinaNo Company, we have established a seamless and smart wildfire monitoring network. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen organic cooperation with relevant organizations and private groups to build a safe Joma-myeon free from wildfires."

Meanwhile, the Joma-myeon Administrative Welfare Center will maintain an emergency standby system until the end of the wildfire alert period, while continuing patrols in vulnerable areas and promotional activities for residents.

The integration of advanced drone technology in wildfire disaster response is expected to enhance the safety index for citizens.
