Wanju Fire Station (Chief Lee Ju-sang) announced that they conducted the '2025 Second Half Realistic Emergency Rescue Comprehensive Training' at Bongdong Central Church in Bongdong-eup on September 5.

This training scenario assumed a situation where a magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred near Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, causing partial collapse of the church building and a fire outbreak, involving comprehensive training including earthquake, fire, building collapse, and response to multiple casualties.

This large-scale training, conducted for the first time in a multi-use facility such as a religious facility, is significant in that it checked more realistic response procedures reflecting the unique structure of the church and crowded situations.

A total of 197 personnel including Wanju Fire Station, Jeonbuk 119 Special Response Team, Wanju County Office, police station, military units, health center, Wonkwang University Hospital, and 39 pieces of equipment participated in the training, effectively checking the inter-organizational cooperation system.

The training progressed through step-by-step procedures matching actual disaster situations, from initial fire response to emergency treatment of multiple casualties, collapse structure, integrated command meetings, and recovery.

Chief Lee Ju-sang stated, "This training is the first comprehensive training in the second half of the year in Jeonbuk and a special case in a religious facility, which holds deep significance," and added, "We will continue to conduct realistic training like this in the future to do our best to protect the lives and safety of the people."
