"This Is How to Call 119"... Ulsan Nambu Fire Station Delivers Life-Saving Education Tailored for Children

Experiential Education Program by Korea 119 Youth Group for Young Children

Ulsan Nambu Fire Station has launched an experiential program to help children develop safe habits from an early age, aiming to spread a culture of safety among children.

On the morning of July 28, Ulsan Nambu Fire Station conducted a 'Korea 119 Youth Fire Safety Education on the Go' program for about 20 children and teachers from a daycare center located in Nam-gu Office.

This program goes beyond simply delivering theoretical knowledge and is designed so that children can see, listen, and experience safety education first-hand, enabling them to develop the ability to respond independently in emergency situations.

As part of the Korea 119 Youth group activities, the day's program included: guidance on how to make a 119 emergency call, safe evacuation procedures during a fire, a hands-on experience with firefighter uniforms, and a light-fire extinguisher demonstration.

Repeated hands-on training simulating real fire scenarios is especially important for young children. The Nambu Fire Station focused on enhancing the effectiveness of the training by ensuring that the children naturally learn how to calmly report emergencies and move safely to a secure location without panicking in the event of a fire.

On-site, children had the opportunity to wear firefighting gear and learn the basic principles of using a fire extinguisher, gaining a deeper understanding of the role of firefighters up close. The session also emphasized that the '119' emergency number, which may have seemed unfamiliar before, is a crucial means to protect themselves and those around them in urgent situations.

An official from Nambu Fire Station stated, "Safety education is extremely important because the habits formed in childhood last a lifetime," adding, "We will continue to provide tailored safety education for children and vulnerable groups to further raise public awareness of safety."

Ulsan Nambu Fire Station conducted a "Korea 119 Youth Fire Brigade On-site Fire Safety Education" on the 28th for more than 20 children and teachers from a daycare center at Nam-gu Office.
