National Fire Agency Accepting Contest Applications Until August 5
New Category Added for Proposals to Solve Fire-Related Issues

The National Fire Agency announced on June 7 that it will be accepting applications for the "6th Fire Safety Big Data Utilization and Idea Contest" until August 5.

Through this contest, the National Fire Agency aims to discover outstanding and creative services and ideas that utilize the fire safety big data platform.

The Korea Fire Facility Association and the Korea Fire Insurance Association will participate as supporting organizations, awarding prizes from their respective heads to the winners of the Excellence Award, thereby contributing to the use and dissemination of fire safety big data.

This year, in addition to the existing categories of ▲service development and ▲idea planning, a new category has been added: ▲proposal of ideas for solving fire-related issues using artificial intelligence (AI) and data technology.

The newly added "Proposal of Ideas for Solving Fire-Related Issues" category is open to public officials belonging to the National Fire Agency, its affiliated organizations, and local fire headquarters. The focus is on identifying AI and data-based projects that can be applied to actual fire sites and administrative work.

In particular, the contest will focus on projects with high feasibility and applicability in areas such as supporting on-site response, improving repetitive administrative work, and predicting or preventing risks.

Participants in the contest are required to utilize data products from the fire safety big data platform. They may also propose ideas and services that combine public data in the field of fire safety with other public or private data.

The judging will be conducted by a panel of experts in AI, big data, and fire safety. The final winners will be selected through a first-round document review and a second-round on-site presentation review.

The total prize pool is 20.7 million won, to be awarded to 12 teams. In each category, there will be one Grand Prize (Minister of the Interior and Safety Award, 3 million won), one First Prize (National Fire Agency Commissioner Award, 1.5 million won), and two Excellence Prizes (Korea Fire Facility Association President's Award/Korea Fire Insurance Association President's Award, 900,000 won).
