This drill was organized to raise awareness of fire hazards and to prevent large-scale disasters in the event of a fire at the wholesale market, which is a multi-use facility.

A total of 20 participants, including staff from the wholesale market management division, representatives from market corporations, and intermediate wholesalers, took part in the drill, which was conducted in a realistic setting.

The drill focused on testing the initial response system by simulating a fire inside the wholesale market, disseminating information about the fire situation, conducting rapid evacuation exercises, and guiding people to safety.

Kang Jongsun, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, stated, "The agricultural wholesale market contains large quantities of agricultural products and packaging materials, making initial fire suppression especially important." He added, "We will continue to conduct joint drills with corporations and intermediate wholesalers, and thoroughly inspect facilities to create a safe wholesale market environment where citizens can visit with confidence."
