In response, the mayor said, "The city will actively cooperate to promote the fire station's educational videos on fire evacuation and suppression methods through elevator screens in apartments, city hall, and district offices." He added, "We will also review whether safety videos for citizens can be displayed on screens inside the city's wide-area buses."
Following the meeting, Mayor Lee and other attendees also observed demonstrations by the fire station on extinguishing electric vehicle fires and ground evacuation methods using escape devices.
