Essential Facts

Seoksu Public Garage Drill in Anyang

The Anyang drill involved firefighters from Anyang Fire Station, Anyang Urban Corporation, and representatives of transport companies operating at the garage. The exercise reviewed electric vehicle identification, high-voltage power shutoff, use of the garage’s fire-protection facilities, and procedures for extinguishing electric bus fires.

The participants also examined response methods using a large mobile water tank and an actual vehicle. Shin Dong-jin, CEO of Hanjin GTC Co., Ltd., supported a theoretical lecture and hands-on training on the special structure of electric buses and fire characteristics such as thermal runaway. Hanjin GTC is identified in the materials as a company that supported the drill; it is not confirmed as the sole organizing institution.

Goyang Fire Station Drill

Goyang Fire Station simulated fires involving electric and hybrid vehicles, identified the battery locations for each vehicle, and practiced step-by-step responses from entering the scene through fire suppression.

The equipment mentioned included an overhead water-spray nozzle, a penetrating discharge device, and a suffocation fire-extinguishing blanket. However, the available drill reports alone do not support generalizing the effectiveness of any specific equipment or treating it as a standard procedure.
