At the disaster training site, starting with reports of fire and building collapse, initial response, fire suppression and rescue activities, and emergency recovery were carried out. Using the disaster safety communication network and monitors, the training was conducted as a real-time, realistic integrated linkage exercise with the Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, with civil, government, military, and police cooperating to carry out the disaster response process.

Jindo County operated an integrated support headquarters and emergency medical stations at the training site, and Jindo Fire Station activated the emergency rescue control team, focusing on improving collaborative crisis response capabilities. More than 10 pieces of equipment, including fire suppression pump trucks, were mobilized to create a tense atmosphere like an actual situation.

County Governor Kim Hee-su said, “Joint response training that simulates real situations is necessary to prepare for various and complex disasters that can occur anytime and anywhere,” adding, “We will continue to make every effort to safely protect the lives and property of residents by establishing a cooperative system among related organizations.”
