SEOUL, July 8 (AJP) - Firefighters underwent intensive water survival training at a facility in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on Wednesday to enhance their rescue capabilities as more people head to beaches during the hot summer months.
They practiced escaping from a submerged helicopter simulator by unbuckling their safety belts and exiting the cabin safely.
The training was intended to help firefighters respond effectively in case of an emergency water landing.
