According to the headquarters, this campaign, held at the Jeonbuk 119 Safety Experience Center, was organized in response to the recurring appearance of electrical factors such as outlet overload in recent children's fire accidents.
The campaign was timed to coincide with the winter season, when the use of heaters and electric appliances increases the risk of electrical fires. It was designed to help elementary school students identify electrical hazards in their daily lives and develop safe usage habits.
The Jeonbuk 119 Safety Experience Center operated programs tailored to children, including electrical safety experiences using VR, electrical hazard exploration using AR, 4D disaster video experiences, and fire and smoke escape drills.
Students learned about potential dangers caused by using electric heaters or overloading power strips through hands-on experiences, and practiced evacuation procedures in the event of a fire, thereby improving their initial response skills. They also participated in earthquake simulations, traffic and daily safety experiences, and hands-on training with fire extinguishers and hydrants, allowing them to naturally learn how to respond to various disaster situations in everyday life.
On this day, the headquarters promoted both experiential education and the distribution of items for electrical fire prevention. Students participating in the campaign received fire-extinguishing patches for outlets and standalone alarm-type detectors. After instructors explained the correct installation methods and operating principles, students checked the operation process themselves, making the education hands-on and practical.
Going forward, the headquarters plans to expand the distribution of practical prevention items to households vulnerable to electrical fires and broaden support for installing standalone alarm-type detectors. The organization also intends to continuously enhance experiential safety education content for children and adolescents to further strengthen electrical fire prevention capabilities.
Lee Osuk, head of Jeonbuk Fire Headquarters, stated, "Because electrical fires often start from small acts of carelessness, it is important to develop the ability to recognize and act on everyday risks from an early age. I hope this experience will encourage children to practice electrical safety rules at home as well."
