Illegal parking to block fire trucks 'forced destruction'...Jeju Fire Drill

[Anchor]
In the event of a fire, we expect fire trucks to run quickly to put out the fire.

However, illegal parking vehicles can delay entry into fire trucks, leading to great damage.

Reporter Ko Jae-hyung went to the training site for compulsory disposition for illegal parking vehicles.

Fire engines dispatched to fight the electric car fire.

When you enter the alleyway, you are blocked by illegal parking vehicles.

If there is no movement of the vehicle even if the movement is urgently requested, the compulsory disposition is ordered.

If it is difficult to enter the fire vehicle, the first-come-first-served unit should be forcibly disposed of.

Crush the windows of the vehicle and connect the hose to the fire hydrant to extinguish the electric vehicle fire.

This is a compulsory disposition training site for illegal parking vehicles that interfere with emergency firefighting activities.

[Kim Sung-jin / Jeju Fire Station Field Response Team 1 : (Illegal parking) As the number of vehicles increases, it is becoming quite difficult for fire trucks to access the site. We will do our best to protect the property of the residents so that they can get to the site quickly by dealing with zero tolerance and actively forcing them to dispose of them.]

The fire authorities forced the disposal of illegal parking vehicles was the fire at Jecheon Sports Center in 2017.

At that time, the rescue was delayed because it was difficult to enter the fire truck due to illegal parking vehicles that blocked the entrance to the building, and eventually 29 victims were killed.

The year after the disaster, the law was revised to force illegal parking vehicles to be disposed of.Since the enforcement of the

Act, the number of compulsory dispositions has been only four in the country, due to civil complaints and compensation issues.

The number of illegal parking vehicles is still not decreasing, so the inconvenience of firefighters on the spot is great.

[Hyun-min / Jeju Fire Station Oedo 119 Center Fire Chief: If the (fire) car can't get in, we have to extend the lake, so it's a bit exhausting for firefighters, and it's quite difficult to respond to the fire]

Delays in the dispatch of fire trucks due to illegal parking will inevitably lead to damage to citizens.

A high sense of citizenship without illegal parking is needed to keep the golden time of firefighting before the fire authorities force them to dispose of them.
