Until December, the trainees will undergo a 24-week course covering basic skills, job-related expertise, and both theoretical and practical training required for disaster response, including fire suppression, rescue, and emergency medical services. The training program is structured to combine classroom learning and hands-on exercises, emphasizing on-site response capabilities, public service values, and decision-making skills.

After completing the program, the trainees will be assigned to fire stations throughout the province, where they will serve as firefighters responsible for protecting the lives and property of Gyeonggi residents across various disaster sites, including fires, rescues, and emergency medical situations.
