Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station Dedicated to 'Drone Operation Training'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station (Chief Moon Gisik) is intensively conducting drone operation training to promptly respond to mountain accidents and safety incidents during the spring thaw season.

According to Gwangsan Fire Station on the 24th, drones are widely used to search for and rescue missing persons at disaster sites that firefighters find difficult to access, such as mountain and water rescue operations.

The drones owned by Gwangsan Fire Station have a maximum speed of 50 km/h and a flight time of 30 minutes, equipped with powerful obstacle avoidance functions, meeting the specifications required at disaster sites.

Additionally, through a video camera equipped with a high-definition camera sensor, clear real-time video transmission to firefighters is possible, playing a significant role in providing three-dimensional analysis and various information of disaster sites.

Above all, firefighting drones analyze disaster sites from multiple angles in the air, provide three-dimensional information, and revolutionarily assist on-site command.

Chief Moon Gisik said, “Firefighting drones help perform efficient firefighting activities by providing rapid and accurate information at various disaster sites,” adding, “We will make every effort to leave no gaps in protecting the safety of the public through continuous drone operation training.”
